NOTES:
If Susan Lanham Riley was alive and living with James Taylor Riley in Montgomery County, Maryland on October 15, 1791 when Mary Jones' Will was proved, then James Taylor Riley could not have married Martha "Patsy" Cast on February 25, 1789 in Surry County, North Carolina unless Mary Jones was not aware of Susan Lanham Riley's (possible/likely) death.
**Mary Jones was Susan Lanham Riley's great-aunt. See the Will abstract on Susan's memorial page.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this???
