• "Marriage Agreement" with Samuel Yeargan mentioned in the Chesterfield deed book of that 1753. The deed noted that Anne was to retain autonomy over four slaves "which had been given to her." One, named Bristol, can be traced to Anne's brother, Thomas Harris, Jr., of Henrico County, Virginia, in whose will he left Bristol to his brother Francis, who in turn left the young fellow to his sister, Anne. In Samuel's own will he left a man named "Bristor," probably a misspelling of Bristol to his daughter, Anne Alston. The deed was witnessed by Peter Fizpatrick and Francis Osborne, of Anne's elder sister Edith's family.
