48John Vinson is in Sugarland Hundred of Montgomery County in the Assessment of 1783 and in District 2, Potowmack and Sugarland Hundreds, in 1793. He has no land but has six slaves and other personal property all together assessed at L193. As the last assesssment he appears in is that of 1804, he probably died about then, though the first account of his estate was not proved until 1812. In the assessment of 1810 Mrs. Ann Vinson appears with personal property that seems about the same as what John was assessed for in 1804: he had nine slaves, she had twelve (six under eight years); his total assessment was L179, hers L 176.10. There is no change for her in 1811 or 1812, and she appears in the new list in 1813 with what looks like the same property but is assessed higher. As Ann is not in the next new list, 1820, she probably died in 1818 or l819, the year of the final account of John's estate.
