General Notes: Wife - Ann Harnit

---

She was born and reared near Baltimore, Maryland. During the Revolutionary War Mrs. Martha Washington boarded at the tavern of her parents, at Warm Springs, Virginia, where Washington occasionally visited his wife. At that time Mrs. Washington presented to Miss Harnit an eight-gallon iron kettle, which was later owned by her grandson, Erwin Brown, of West Salem Township, Mercer County.
