I, Ann Tarvin of Charles County, being possessed in my own right of the
following slaves, to wit, Averella, Sam, Nancy, Stasia,
John, and Betsy, children of the sd Averella, and I having
taken into serious consideration the unhappy state of
slavery, and wanting to emancipate and set free the several
slaves afd, and their issue born before their emancipation,
I, reserving to myself all right to such issue until the
males arrive to the age of 21 years, and the females to the
age of 18 years, after which time I emancipate all such
issue and their issue to the last generations of them and I
hereby emancipate the several slaves hereafter mentioned
after their having served me to the several times as
follows: Averella, until Jan 1, 1790; Nancy, until Jan 1,
1796; Sam, until Jan 1,1797; Stasia, until Jane 1, 1798;
Betsey, until Jan 1, 1803; John, until Jan 1, 1804. I had
devised to me by the will of my mother Eliza Tarvin, a
Negro girl named Peggy, with her increase, from the date
thereof, but if I were to die unmarried, then Peggy and her
increase would belong to Basil Beall, who intermarried with
Eliza Tarvin, sister of the sd Ann. And whereas sd Negro
Peggy has the following children, to wit, Henny, Philip,
James, and Sandy, and I, Basil Beall and Elizabeth, his
wife, being moved by compassion on the unhappy and miserable
state of slavery, do hereby emancipate sd Negroes Peggy,
Henny, Philip, James and Sandy, and the issue that may be
born of sd Peggy and Henny during their servitude, with the
issue remaining slaves until the males reach age 21 and the
