Notes
Marriage
In 183 - Arcena married Mr. Thomas Wasson and soon after they moved into a house just opposite to ours on the south side of William Street. When Fanny learned the object of Mr. Wasson's visits, she became very angry; she scolded at him and about him; she locked the door when she saw him coming and declared he should never have Arcena for his wife. She finally became reconciled and after the marriage spent much time at Mr. Wasson's.RBH Diary
Death
I attended yesterday the funeral of Mrs. Wasson. Arcena [Smith] Wasson was born December 7, 1797. She died from a fracture of the neck of the thigh-bone (the result of a fall some six weeks ago) on Sunday [the] 26th. I rode to the cemetery with Mrs. --- (nee Welch), with Miss Mendenhall as my lady companion. Much pleasant talk of old times and of Mrs. Wasson. She was the embodiment of industry, honesty, truthfulness, and efficiencyRBH Diary Oct 29, 1883
