I am suggesting a correction in the birthdate of Mary McCottry #107204259. According to the McCottry Bible, dated 1772, she was Mary White, who married Robert McCottry and was born "March 8th day 1753 (Wednesday)". The last entry in the Bible is dated 1820, so Mary outlived the entries in it. I know how difficult it is to "calculate" the birthdates from age at death..... you really don't know how they were figuring it. Robert McCottry was born "March 2nd day 1748 (Saturday)", and "Departed this life March 4th 1805 , Monday about 2 o'clock. Aged 57 years and 2 days ".
