She could not of married in 1768 if she was born in 1766.
Hi Michelle, Thanks for your note. Yes, you are correct. Top conformed and Birth estimate changed to 1753 (abt 16) bio estimate from 1740-1753 - Henry is older (1740) and may have 2X marriages. (Ancestry references throughout contained no "solid sources" that include a Polly or Mary, etc. No Duncan's located for Nash this timeframe that are solid -- If you have knowledge or any questions re this family, please let me know. Full research notes at Watkins-2924 Henry Watkins re conclusion on Mary Crews supposition. Thanks. Regards Sandy
