  • Notes 
    • She was Mareen's last wife. She had 3 husbands herself, but she never had children by any of them. Her second husband after Mareen Duval was even wealthier than her first. His name was Colonel Hugh Ridgely. They apparently married withear of Mareen's death. Hugh Ridgely had the High Sheriff issue citations against Mary's step son, John Duvall, who had taken over the administration of his father's estate after Mary declined the "honor". According to Hugh, John was greatly misjudging the value of his father's estate. Colonel Ridgely was then assigned the administration of Mary's late husband's estate and she assisted him with this administration. She married a younger minister as her third husband who gained prominence after their marriage.

      She is said to be Mary Stanton by some second hand sources, but according to research by the respected genealogist, Harry Wright Newman, that is absolutely not so. Her gravestone said she died on Jan. 19, 1735, but remember this was the time period where the year would now be considered 1736 instead. She willed most of the land she was given to her by her third husband to her heirs, but previously had given her step-son Lewis Duvall 547 acres of "Middleton Plantation" by the year 1700.
