Notes |
- given name also spelled Anne
marriage entry is Mrs. Ann Cumberbatch - was she previously married to a Mr. Cumberbatch; there were two spinsters both with Mrs. married in 1730?
Died in childbirth
Buried 12 Sep 1727?
Her age on 12 October 1715 was either 8yrs, 4yrs or 1 month. The 1715 census also lists Abraham and his wife as having 3 daughters (Barbados and America David L. Kent 1980).
The Will of GOLD, Mary, being very sick and weak. St. Philips Parish, 20 Aug 1718, RB6/4, p.566. My cousins Elizabeth Pollard, John Pollard, and Ann Cumberbatch jr, if Ann Cumberbatch dies before 21 her share to her sisters Mary Cumberbatch and Sarah Cumberbatch;...
(Mcree Sanders J. Barbados Records: Wills and Administrations Vol III 1701 - 1725). As Ann is mentioned first 1718 I have assumed she is eldest.
There is a burial entry for 22nd November 1725 - Died of consumption (Brandow J.C. Genealogies of Barbados Families page 536). However, she married Edward on 5 June 1726!
Consumption is now known as Tuberculosis - the effect of the disease was that of wasting away. Other 'wasting' diseases such as dissentry were also called consumption. Consumption killed Mozart, Chopin and other figures in the arts and sciences at early ages.
