Martha Sheffield

Origins

The existence of Mary's four daughters is contained in her mother's Will.[7] Mary Albee's mother, Mary Thayer, made her Will on 12 Aug 1740. She made a codicil to her Will on 14 Oct 1743. In her original Will, she made a bequest to her daughter, Mary Albee. In the Codicil, she stated that Mary Albee was deceased, so she gave Mary's share of the estate to Mary's daughters: Mary Wood, Martha Sheffield, Elizabeth Albee, Margaret Albee.
