John NANCE - statment regarding Michael HOLLAND 3 Jan 1764
and his gift of two Negros to HOLLAND's daughter Mary
John NANCE's children mentioned: Giles and Elizabeth Page 314 [ first half of page blank] about eight or nine years ago I heard my son Giles say that Michael HOLLAND had given his daughter Mary two Negros Patt & Nan. After that time I heard the said Michael HOLLAND say that he had given his daughter Mary the same two Negros Patt & Nan & sometime since the wife of the said HOLLAND was apprehensive that no Gift sho'd be good unless it was Recorded the said HOLLAND's Wife desired me to speak to her Brother Winn to have the above Gift recorded in Court. I spoke to the said Winn concerning that affair & he promised he would have it done. I told Mrs HOLLAND what Mr Winn said & she in my hearing asked her husband Michael HOLLAND if he was willing that Gift should be Recorded & he the said HOLLAND agreed to it in August or September in the year of 1762 but five weeks before the said Michael HOLLAND death he the said Michael HOLLAND come to my house & as we sat at Dinner in the yard, the the said Page 315 HOLLAND said what a fine thing it was to have a small Family, for his was so large that he wished that his children was old enough to go for themselves. I getting up from the Table, went into the House and as I step'd out again I heard my daughter Elizabeth say to the said Michael HOLLAND What you intend the Blacks shall go to the Whites yes said the said Michael HOLLAND I have given my daughter Mary two & I intend to give Joseph two & mentioned their names they being two Boys I said to Michael HOLLAND you dont divide them equally you should have given Mary a Girl & a Boy & Joe a Girl & a Boy, no said the said Michael HOLLAND Mary seemed to make choice of them two & them I have given her & them she shall have. 3 Jan 1764 John NANCE About five years ago I was at Michael HOLLAND's & there was some discourse between him & his Wife relative to a Gift of Two Negroes to his daughter Mary upon which he said he would give his daughter Mary Patt & Nan. 2 Jan 1764 Susanna Irby Some time in the year 1754 at the House of Michael HOLLAND's one night It happened in discourse between the Wife of the said Michael HOLLAND & myself concerning the Gift of two Negros named Patt & Nann, which she said her Husband had given to his daughter Mary before three witnesses the said Page 316 Michael HOLLAND made answer & said that he had given his daughter Mary them two negros & she should have them if she lived to age to enjoy them. 5 Jan 1764 Giles NANCE Sometime in June in the year 1762 at the House of Michael HOLLAND I heard the said Michael HOLLAND say he had given his daughter Mary two Negro Girls which he further saith was Patt & Nan I made answer & said I did not believe that Gift would stand good unless it was Recorded and the I had heard there was an Act to the Contrary Then the said HOLLAND's answer to me was that he had given his daughter Mary the above mentioned Two Negros before that act was made and he the said Michael HOLLAND further saith that his daughter Mary had a lawful Right to them Two Negros abovementioned, Clear from the claim or demand of any person & that she might take them away when she pleased & that should not be all that he would give her 5 Jan 1764 Wm Snead
