	Family History, Part Two
		At least as early as 1783 Posey was apprehended several times for a series of misdemeanors, including theft from Jacky's son George Washington Parke Custis, for which the fines levied are said to have ranged from 5 to 200 pounds.
		Posey faced the loss of her land because the law at the time specified that in such a circumstance the property would be forfeited to the state, rather than transferred to the wife or other family of the offender.
		Among the misfortunes for the family were the infamous "Posey Affair," which resulted in the death by hanging of the husband of Anne Kidley, daughter of Richard and Mary, and the deaths at sea of Byrd and his young son Otway in a cold gale in December, 1800.
