Biography

The year of birth is an estimate, the Registrar does not indicate Selena's age, or year of birth, or her parents, which is unusual the Registrar almost always gives at least the father.

AND the Registrar spells her name, every time "Sillinah" just like he sounds it out.

NOT SURE what name the Registrar is trying to spell? Sillivah. could be Selena?? But the date of the marriage should help match.

Selina married Robert Clark on 18 Feb. 1717 in Maryland. [16]

In her will written on 10 June 1775, "Silina" Clark of Harford County, a widow, she named her children (her sons Robert, William, George, and David Clark; her daughters, Frances Renshaw, Hannah Amos, Sarah Forwood, Mary Johnson, Hester Johnson, Elizabeth Colegate, Ann Johnson, Silina Maccomas; her granddaughters Sarah Johnson, daughter of Thomas Johnson; Sarah Preston; Frances Renshaw; Silina Renshaw; Rachel and Elizabeth, "daughters of my son Robert."
