Comments on Mary Molly (Cobb) Drew

Question

On 12 Apr 2024 Shirlea Smith wrote on Cobb-3642:

I ran into a possible problem with a profile along my connection trail with Maria Mitchell. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cobb-3642 for [[Cobb-3642|Mary Molly (Cobb) Drew (1751-1814)]] shows two marriages. It seems that the children's births are in overlapping time frames. I think the Massachusetts activities are likely while the Virginia marriage and children and the Kentucky death (mentioned in bio, I didn't see a source) are unlikely. The Massachusetts marriage is my connection, so I'm going to proceed along that trail, but i just thought someone would like to know about this other problem.

According to the very legible gravestone image attached to her profile she was the wife of Gersham Drew and she died in Nantucket, Massachusetts. Her profile is conflated with another same-named woman who married Mr. Handley of Virginia and later  Kentuckey.
