At the bottom of the garden at Nominy Hall, the last century residence of Concillor Carter and his father, an upright slab has on it these words:
Here to the right of the late
J.J. Maund, Ezq. is
deposited the body of his dutiful
Daughter
Mrs. Ann Arnest,
Who departed this life
On the 23d Day of May,
1818 in her 28th
Year
Such consummate goodness and worth combined
Are rarely met with in the humand mind.
Go, sweet Anna, such excellence by thy Maker given
Will find acceptance in the court of Heaven.
* J.J. Maund emigrated from Wales (Pembrokeshire) and married August 1, 1789, Harriet Lucy, one of the daughters of Hon. Robert Carter and Francis [Frances] Tasker. Their eldest daughter - Anna Martin Maund - married Dr. John Arnest, and died (as above) May 23, 1818, leaving three sons and a daughter - George (of Texas), John (of California), Thomas M. (of Nominy Hall, Westmoreland), and Sophia (Mrs. Dozier).
