Notes for Mary LEWIS
Died soon after the birth of her daughter Mary.
Her estate, consisting of property left to her by her father Nathaniel was divided among her children by agreement dated 18 Apr 1740. It names her five living children: Seth, Mary Case, Joanna Smith, John and Hezekiah. (ref E.B. Cole's James Cole book). The date leads to disagreement over her date of death. "Mary, wife of John" died 1711, and "John, Jr." remarried in 1715. However, "Mary, wider" died in 1738. Some sources use the later date, apparently ignorant of the will record of John Cole (which I admittedly don't have a primary source for) which would mean Mary would not have been a widow even had she lived to 1738.
