In 1820, Ann Latter of Halifax wrote a letter to the crown lands authorities on behalf of her father Henry Latter of Herring Cove, complaining of delays and lack of resolution to her father's petition. States father is now "infirmed" and relies on his two sons who he lives with. (Her letter was thought impertinent and was dismissed by the crown.)^[3]

In 1822, Ann "Latters", spinster of Halifax, purchased 5 acres of property in the "Dutch Village" for 230 pounds.^[4]
