Ann E Wheatley married Basil Tarlton in 1853, who died by 1857, when his inventory and account of sales were listed in the probate records of St. Mary’s County (familysearch.org). Among his probate records is the distribution of the estate to his family: Ann as his widow got 1/3 of the estate, around $980, and his 9 children received an equal sum, around $220.

Records indicate that William M. Moore paid to enslave the unnamed woman as part of the estate sales. (St. Mary’s County, Account of sales 1851-1857 vol GC3, p 517 | familysearch.org). William W. Moore is the son of John T Moore, Ann’s neighbour in the 1860 Census.
Ann Tarleton’s dwelling number is 86 in the 1860 census. Dwelling number 85 contains individuals with the last name of Moore and Tarlton. John Moore heads the household with a personal estate worth $4000. He employs and/or houses several young adult/children with the surname Tarlton. Their given names are similar to the list of children on Basil’s estate distribution record: William, James P, and George. Both John T Moore and William W Moore had an account of sales for their estate recorded in spring of 1865 (Account of sales 1857-1865 vol GC4),

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F4J2-1WBAnn Virginia Tarlton was born the same year he married Ann and had some sort of condition that resulted in the census taker indicating her status as invalid. The year of her birth, 1853, was the same year he married Ann. It is a possibility that his previous wife had had a difficulty delivery and died while giving birth to Ann Virginia, and that she became an invalid due to the complications during birth. Ann Wheatley/Tarlton continued to care for her step-daughter while the older step-children lived with her sister. This proposed one possibility for the labour that Ann expected from Jane, especially as Ann had no real estate and limited personal estate.
