An account book kept by Ann (Macwhorter) Ogilvie with the Newark Banking and Insurance Company (now Midlantic National Bank). The final entry, dated November 1, 1813, concerns Mrs. Ogilvie’s estate.
Ann Macwhorter Ogilvie (1759-1813) was one of the five children of Mary Cumming and the Reverend Dr. Alexander Macwhorter (1734-1807), a prominent Newark, New Jersey citizen and Presbyterian pastor. Ann married the Reverend George Ogilvie but the couple remained childless. At the time of her death in Newark on October 29, 1813, Ann bequeathed her estate to her nephew John McWhorter (son of Alexander C. McWhorter) and willed other belongings to her nieces Julia Ann McWhorter (daughter of Alexander C. McWhorter) and Anne Maria Beebe (daughter of Mary Macwhorter Beebe). Joseph C. Hornblower acted as the executor of her estate.
