• Notes

  "After her marriage Maria Heyward lived in southeast Georgia, near Brunswick. She brought lawsuits against her brother Thomas, who had managed her inherited properties before she came of age. At issue was plantation income that accrued during that period. Although she was successful in these lawsuits, her court actions led to estrangement from her siblings, particularly Nathaniel Heyward, who sided with Thomas. "All three of her sons died as a result of violence: Samuel was killed in a duel; William died from wounds received in the War of 1812; and Daniel was murdered by an overseer." [3]
