Mary might have been born circa 1725. Possible surnames of Dinwiddie and/or Means are unproven. Only her first name was given in her husband's probate.[1]
Said to be buried in Duncan-McReynolds Cemetery, Logan County, KY. I checked and there is no stone.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:
Dinwiddie-419 and Means-1115 appear to represent the same person because: These both are clearly intended to represent Mary, who married Andrew Cook and was the mother of his children. As such, there is only one person here, so the profiles need to be merged. These profiles should be merged before merging the two profiles for daughter Elizabeth.
I see that there is only one good source for her (the will), and there is uncertainty about her birth name. If at all possible, decide on an LNAB before merging. If there's no good basis for choosing either Dinwiddie or Means (and especially if it's possible that her name was something else entirely), call her Unknown, and add discussion to the profile regarding the candidate names.
