A new Enslaver relative, William Maugridge, Esq., of near Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania, died between 1766 and 1768.

William is my 8th Grand Uncle. He gave Cloe, an enslaved female to his wife, Ann. After Ann's death Cloe was to go to his daughter, Sarah Drury. He also gave, Dick, an enslaved male to his grand-daughter, Ann Little. He is on my Boone line.
