| Married Name | circa 1743 | As of circa 1743,her married name was Fitzgerald. |
| Anecdote* | September 1745 | In September 1745, William Fitzgerrald and his new wife Amberlain were sleeping together, but not in the bed they had been promised. Before the marriage, William's father, John Fitzgerrald, was trying to ensure a comfortable future for William and Amberlain, but he did not want to do it alone. He therefore took his son's fiance with him to see Jonathan Chambers, a relative of hers-she was "the Child of his Wife's sister's Bastard." John told Chambers that he would give his son a piece of land if he married Amberlain, and he expected that Chambers would give them something, too, since she was a relative. Chambers, who had been drinking, replied that he had always intended to give Amberlain a feather bed and furniture if she married a man he approved of, and he did approve of William; as soon as they were married, he would deliver the items. After the marriage, however, the young couple never received the bed. The jury trying the case found that the promised gift would have been worth £5:00:00, but they were not sure that the promise made by Chambers was binding. The justices, who were to make the final ruling, did not do so till November 1747; they then ordered Chambers to pay William and Amberlain the value of the wedding gift he never gave.1 |

(He also gave: to Elijah–6 pewter plates, 2 dishes, bridle, saddle, leather britches, coat, check shirt, best hoe, bed and bedding; to William–10 bushels corn, coat; to John–blue jacket, red cloth to cover wife’s saddle, logwood axe; to Solomon–finest hat; to Nehemiah–6 bushels corn; to cousin Joseph Nock–2 pigs; to sister Sarah–check linen for an apron, silk handkerchief, fine shift and muslin for a cap. (End p. 201) The rest of the estate was to be divided between his brothers and two sisters. Executors were John and William; witnesses were Richard Justice, Thomas Webb and Elias Truit. William inventoried George’s estate (appraised by Ralph Justice, Robert Abbott and Richard Justice–submitted 25 September 1744). Among other things it included Leah, about 18 or 19 years old (£30:00:00). The jury found that– In August 1743, Leah gave birth to Esther; – Plaintiffs Robert and Sarah were married before George died; – Robert demanded Esther (after she reached two years of age) from William (exr of William and George), but he refused saying she belonged to brother Elijah (now the defendant); –Sarah reached the age of 21 ten years before bringing her 1751 suit, which was dropped; –At that time Esther was 10 years 10 months old; – In 1754 the present suit commenced. If the law favored the plaintiffs, the jury would find that the defendant detained the slave (worth £30) and would award damages of 6 pence. The court’s judgment would be given 30 August. Witnesses for Nock: Rachel Webb (3 days) and Margaret Stockley (2 days).2 |
