Birth: 9 OCT 1802 in Hanover Co. Virginia 1

Death: 9 OCT 1873 in Nashville, Tennessee

Note:

From one of the wealthiest families in Richmond, VA. Mary Ann and her

husband Peter Demoville had a 1,000 acre estate on the James River and

entertained in manorial style. They had the finest hounds in the region

and many were the guests they entertained during the social and hunting

season.

Later, financial misfortune overtook them. Many of their slaves were

seized and sold, to meet plantation debts; and eventually, they, their

nine children & their remaining slaves left Virginia bound for Arkansas.

They got no further than Nashville, Tennessee, for there Peter DeMoville

died. There, Mary Ann remained and raised her young family there.
