Edenton Gazette Tues., July 23, 1811 July 23, 1811
   WINDSOR, June 23 -- Drowned, in Cockburn, on Sabbath, the 2nd instance, 
MARY ANN, the daughter of CAPT.VAN ROYCE, and OLIVE, the daughter of MR. 
TIMOTHY LOCKWOOD, about 15 years of age.
   They ventured upon a raft for amusement. But not being accustomed to the 
water, they were precipitated into the river. Two hours had elapsed before 
their situation was known. The parents and the neighbors ran to the fatal 
place in hopes of affording relief. But alas! it was too late. The blooming 
girls had left us; and were gone to appear before their maker.
   The body of MISS ROYCE was immediately taken up, but MISS LOCKWOOD remains 
undiscovered.
