When could women inherit property in the US?

There is no single answer to your question because property rights are generally governed by state law. To determine what property rights women had in early America you would need to do state by state research. Generally, in Colonial America, a woman's property was under the control of her husband or father. Massachusetts was one of the first jurisdictions that passed law in 1787 allowing married women to own property under certain circumstances. Single women could inherit land. Once a single woman married, the land would come under the control of her husband. Women were not given substantial property rights in all states until around 1900.
