There is an obituary for Mrs. Ann Espey in the Daily National Intelligencer, Wash, DC, Apr 26, 1854.It reads:"Yesterday, the 25th instant, Mrs. Ann Espey in the 60th year of her age.The funeral will take place this afternoon at 4 o'clock from the residence of her son-in-law, John H. Thorn, on 5th street, between G and H, where the relatives and friends of the family are requested to attend without further notice."DC Marriage records show that John H. Thorn married Margaret Espey.So if Samuel had a sister named Margaret who married a John Thorn, odds are good that Ann was Samuel's mother.
