MARRIED women had no rights because they relinquished all their rights to their husbands. As a single woman, you might have inherited property from your father or husband. If you'd had children, as a widow, you would only inherit a child's portion, and you would probably only have control of it for as long as you remained unmarried. Then it would revert to your children. If you did not have any children, you'd probably retain control of it for your life time as long as you did not remarry. My ancestor Ann Coleman inherited a tavern and other property from her husband Robert Coleman, whose only stipulation was that it revert to son when she died. When she remarried in 1715, she drew up a pre-nuptial to make sure that her property would revert to her children by Coleman. She also retained the right to dispose of any of her property without the approval of her second husband!! Our female ancestors were more assertive than you might think, especially our colonial ancestors. If only they could have voted!! I vote in honor of them.kdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44275282323199335332016-11-09T20:18:37.917-05:002016-11-09T20:18:37.917-05:00Wonderfully thought provoking post!

I have been avoiding my fb due to all the bickering about the election.I was always told by my great aunt when I was young and made the kid mistake of saying I didn't want to vote, what was the use my candidate never wins anyway that she fought for the right to vote so I had better damn well get my butt out there and vote! So every election I go out and vote, and taught my daughter to do the same thing!
