"Death date of 1737 makes sense if she died due to childbirth and as her husband remarried in the same county shortly after."

If Martha was born in 1736, then her mother would have been Joseph's first wife, Hester.

*****

There are a lot of different opinions about the marriage order or Joseph Bryan, Sr. and therefore, a lot of different opinions regarding his children, Martha and Rebecca Boone. If someone can provide the correct mother for these girls, then I will be happy to make the changes. For now, I will leave them as they stand.
