1766 an Allowance of £100 made to the Representatives of Samuel
Gaither; £75 of which the said Ann Gaither has received, and it
appears to your Committee that she is entitled to the remaining £25,
as the Damage was repaired solely by her, and the Premises now are
in a better State than they were before the Damage was done as the
abovesaid Harris and Elizabeth Perry do on Oath declare. Your
Committee beg Leave to mention that it appears that Benjamin
Tasker Esq. made and executed a Lease of Part of a Lot of Ground
whereon said House stood to Samuel Gaither the late Husband of
the said Ann, dated the 15.th Day of October 1759, and that the
said Samuel Gaither by his last Will and Testament dated the 23.th
Day of September 1762 devised the said House and Lot of Ground
to Mary Gaither and Cassandra Gaither Sisters of the said Samuel,
and that Ann Gaither the Petitioner purchased of Edward Nor-
wood who intermarried with the said Mary one fourth Part of the
said Lot of Ground for the Sum of £i2..io..o as per Deed bearing
Date the 16:th Day of November 1763 legally acknowledged and
recorded as appears to your Committee. All which is humbly sub-
mitted to the Honourable House.
