      Mary is not mentioned in Thomas Holt's Southampton Co Will in 1786 so I assume she died before that. Also a dau Nancy who was not yet 18 is mentioned specifically so I added that dau. The earliest Nancy could have born in 1770 and in 1775 Mary was 45 so likely Nancy was born in that period - best guess 1772. This limits Mary's death date to between 1770 (earliest that she could have had Nancy) and 1786 (year of will). Perhaps she died in childbirth with Nancy. Mary had 9 daughters: Ann (39), Lucy (38), Lydia (32), Malley (29), Patty (26), Fanny (24), Elizabeth (20), and Rebecca (17), and Nancy (~14). Also her sister Sarah Land (widow of Gregory Rawlings) had three Rawlings daughters: Suky (30), Rebecca (24) and Nancy (21).

      In addition to the underage grand dau mentioned in the will specifically as "Polly's dau Nancy", one bequest is made to "granddaughters Rebecca and Ann" and one to "granddaugter Nancy Rawlings". Clearly the last one is Sarah's Nancy (21). That leaves us to explain "Rebecca and Ann". I surmise that he is leaving things to all his living, unmarried grand daughters and that Rebecca and Ann belonged to Mary.
