Sarah Thorn notes of Linda Reno:
1830 Census of Bryantown, Charles Co., Md. -- Sarah Davis (of Benjamin)
Dec. 30, 1833 - Sarah died in Charles Co., Md.
Feb. 10, 1835 - Her distribution accounts, Charles Co., by William Matthews and William Cartwright.
1835 Charles Co., Md. Abstract - William Lyon states that mother-in-law Sarah Davis, died intestate in 1833, "possessed of several young negroes," and that Joannas Storke was granted letters of administration on Davis's estate. Claiming to be entitled to a 1/6 share of her estate, Lyon alleges that Storke has not "acted in good faith" as administrator. Specifically Lyon claims that Storke has not charged himself with the hires of the slaves, who were also "clothed at the expense of the estate," and he conjectures that Storke purchased a crop of tobacco from the estate for less than it was worth. Lyon asks that Storke be compelled to make an account of the estate and to credit the estate for these omissions.
