Current profile9Mary made her will on 28 November 1837. She gave her daughter Ruth one-seventh of her property. Daughter Mariah, wife of William McCracken, received one-sixth of the remaining estate for life, with the share then to pass to her brothers and sisters. Mary's son Hiram was appointed Mariah's trustee. The residue went equally to Mary's “other five children.”<ref name="MaryWill">Newberry District, South Carolina, Will Book N, p. 1, will of Mary Glasgow, widow of Wilson Glasgow, dated 28 November 1837 and proved 22 October 1838; [https://web.archive.org/web/20101124184247id_/http://www.lifesweaving.com/Glasgow/Paper_WilsonGlasgowWife.html transcription].

Current profile14Mary's will creates seven child-shares: Ruth, Mariah and five other children.

Current profile44Ruth, Mariah and Hiram are directly identified as Mary's children. Robert, Naomi, Matilda and Almina complete the seven-name group in Wilson's estate, exactly matching Mary's stated child count. The original real-estate packet should still be inspected before describing its wording as direct proof of each relationship.
