She married and lived with Washington having seven known children in Somerton, Nansemond county, Virginia where she died and is buried.

The village of Somerton began in the 17th century when Sir Thomas Jernigan (also spelled Jarnigan) of Somerleyton, Suffolk county, England came to Virginia and was granted 250 acres in what now is Suffolk. New Norfolk County is said to have been formed in 1636 from that part of Elizabeth City County lying to the south of Hampton Roads, and extinguished in 1637 by the formation of Lower Norfolk and Upper Norfolk Counties. Upper Norfolk County was extinguished in 1643 when Nansemond County was organized following legislation the previous year. My 10th great,grandfather, Robert Boggus, is documented 1 April 1644, ("Norfolk. Co. Va., Deed Bk, B: 37a") as living in the then newly created Nansemond county. Nansemond is an extinct independent city which was located in the State of Virginia in the United States from 1972 until 1974. It was created from Nansemond County, Virginia, and is now part of the independent city of Suffolk, Virginia.

Death: in Somerton, Nansemond county, Virginia. written is: she died 4th January 1816 leaving six children, one two week old daughter, HOWEVER, the same book, Bible Records of Suffolk & Nansemond County, Virginia: by Fillmore Norfleet published in 2009, reveals that last daughter born 21 May 1816. ~ ~ After due consideration, I believe June was copied as January in the publication, ~ ~ You decide which is correct!

Father: Samuel Barron Cunningham b: 26 JUL 1757 Elizabeth City, Pasouotank county, North Carolina.
Mother: Margaret Riddick b: 3 NOV 1860 Nansemond county, Virginia, (mother's maiden name, Tembte).

Burial in the private, now unknown, cemetery in Somerton, possibly (?) the Smith Family cemetery shown located south of along Arthur drive and between son Robert's home (now 8441 Arthur drive) and the then Methodist church south, across street from 8442 Arthur drive.
