Mark Langdon Will
It is of particular interest to me in Mark Langdon’s will, he leaves “my Negro girl called Nanny” to his wife, Mary “for her benefit”. After Mary’s death, he give Nanny “her Freedom and Liberty for her faithful past service.” There is a record of Nanny Langdon, servant of Deacon, christened in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, February 28, 1762.
