[Name] Retirement  
[Crop] Sugar  
 

Bequeathed by Philip Haughton to his daughter Sarah Haughton (along with "the 1/2 acre I purchased of Corbt. Lawrence and Baker whereon my storehouse is built whence I ship sugar belonging to Retirement estate" and "that piece of land I purcahsed on William Tharpe containing 300 acres with the land called Old Pasture and all the lands adjacent containing 1300 acres and 1/3 of the slaves and stock belonging to my penns.")

Sarah Haughton was a minor when Philip Haughton wrote his will in 1763 and was to inherit at age 21 or marriage. She appears to either have predeceased him or more likely to have died soon after as she was shown as deceased co-owner in 1766. According to Philip Haughton's will, Sarah's property in the event of her death was to be shared between her sisters Lady Ann Clarke and Mary James.
