  Deed of Gift - Recd	17 Jul 1672	Accomack County, Virginia, USA   [2]
  	Daniell Jenifer of Gargaphia, Gentleman, who married Anne Toft, gave her three daughters, Arcadia, Attalanta, and Annabella, 5000 acres including Chingoteage and Mattapenny Neck, to be possessed and enjoyed by each as she attained age 17. Also at that age, each would be given 25 cattle, 11 sheep, 6 silver spoons, a silver cup, a feather bed and furniture, two pair of sheets, 12 Holland napkins, 2 Holland table cloths, 6 towels, one table carpet, a brass kettle, an iron pot, 4 pewter dishes, 6 pewter porridgers, 10 barrels of corn, and 10 bushells of wheat. Each girl was also to receive a Negro servant: Arcadia--the Negro girl Mary, daughter of Hannah; Attalanta--the Negro girl called Aire; and Annabella--the Negro boy Tony, son of Nan. Before the following December, four breeding mares and their increase would be appointed to the use Attalanta and Annabella. If any daughter were to marry before age 17 without parental permission, she would receive nothing. Signed 17 July 1672, Daniel Jenifer. Witnesses: Wm. Whittington and Tabitha Browne.
  Land receivd as gift	9 Sep 1686	tract A180, Horntown, Accomack Co, Virginia   [3]
  	The share of each daughter as stated in 1672 was not deeded to her as she became 17 or married, but on 9 Sep 1686, Daniel and Anne Jenifer executed a long deed of give to each of the daughters and their respective husbands, Arcadia and Thomas Welburne, Attalanta and John Osborne of Somerset, and Annabella and Francis Lee of London, formerly giving each couple 1,666 acres along with the personalty promised. About 5 months later, Anne signed her las deed of land with her husband, so she must have died shortly thereafter, and perhaps she had a premonition of the end and saw to it there the deeds were properly recorded before her death.
