Biography
Mary Ann Brady is a part of US Black heritage.
Mary Ann was born into slavery about 1833, possibly in Virginia.
She first appeared by name on the slave manifest of the ship Kirkwood, which arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 4, 1846 from Baltimore, Maryland.[1] Her owner was listed as Joseph S. Donovan, a known slave trader operating largely between Baltimore and New Orleans.[2]
Mary Ann was then found on a document detailing the sale of a number of slaves to Wiley Washington Pridgen of Harrison County, Texas. Texas. The date of the transaction was February 7, 1848 and was located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The seller was Jonathon Means Wilson, a known slave trader. [3] Mary Ann was described as "Mary Ann Brady, Negress, aged about sixteen years". (see Image 200/858, page 391). [4]
In 1850, Mary Ann's enslavers, Wiley W. Pridgen Sr. and his wife Mary, divorced and their joint property, including slaves, were divided between them by the court in DeWitt County, Texas. Mary Ann was awarded by the court to Mary Pridgen. (see Image 54/983)[5]
No other information about Mary Ann has yet been found. She did not appear on Mary Pridgen's estate inventory in 1856, indicating she had either been sold or had died.
