Mary, Joan, and Nanny were the three women in William Trent's household at the time of his sudden death in 1724. All three lived in the shadow of uncertain futures in the years before the disposition of Trent's estate. A video portraying what Joan and Nanny, the two women enslaved by Trent, might have been thinking, feeling, and discussing as they confronted the possibilities before them will be shown for the first time on Sunday, March 12th, at 2 pm in the Trent House Visitor Center. A previously released video about Mary Coddington, Trent's widow, will also be shown, contrasting the possible futures faced by these three women and the options they had to shape the future for themselves.
