She was the serva nt of Robert Buchanan of Kent County, Delaware, in May 1761 when she was convicted of having an illegitimate "Molatto" male child and ordered to serve her master one year for the trouble of his house. The court sold her son, born 4 July 1 759, to her master for 7 pounds [RG 3805.002, Quarter Sessions, 1734-79, frame 197]. She may have been the mother of
