As per Hastin M. Childers’ will, his slaves were emancipated and conveyed to Liberia with passage money and clothing for a year; his plantation and fortune were given to his wife Matilda who later married Thomas Robedeau Patten in 1837. Houghton practiced with Balfour, Stacy, Goodrich, Montgomery and Walsworth. Edward Sparrow was the lawyer who drew up the will of Matilda Childers-Patten and was set to purchase Arlington for nearly $50,000 in 1852 which included 80 slaves. That sale was canceled and then was finalized in 1859 for $75,000. Kate (Ashbridge) Voelker was related to Edward Sparrow.
