About Mary Breedlove Seay

She is the widow of Nathan Breedlove. She is shown as the wife of James Seay in 1757 will, King William County, VA.

---------------------------
In his will, James also discusses his wife and the property she inherited under the will of her former husband, Nathan Breedlove, deceased. So we can say that James married the widow of Nathan Breedlove and prior to the marriage, they entered into a prenuptial agreement dated January 5, 1746 to protect the property which she had inherited through her former husband, Nathan Breedlove. Based on the reference to the prenuptial agreement, one may assume (1) that James and the widow of Nathan Breedlove married in the year 1746; (2) those children born to James prior to 1746 must have been children of James and a prior wife whose name we have not yet discovered; and (3) Jerviah Breedlove was most probably a child of the widow Breedlove and Nathan, who came into her second marriage to James Seay--with Jerviah.
