Mary McBryde married (1) Benjamin W. Williams, son of Gov. Benjamin Williams of North Carolina, and (2) Dr. Charles Chalmers.
Shortly before Mary married Charles Chalmers, a deed made on May 6, 1830, conveyed 18 particular slaves to her brothers, named McBride or McBryde. Mary and Charles Chalmers were to retain possession of the slaves, during their joint lives, or the survivor of them, for their own use and benefit. Her brothers named were James and Archibald McBride Jr.
After Mary died in 1857, without issue, and Dr. Charles Chalmers died intestate a few months later, Mary's mother and sisters filed claim on the slaves, as Mary's next of kin. The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled they were not entitled to the slaves (Hamilton C. Jones, North Carolina Reports: Cases Argued and Determined..., 1859, IV:270–171).
