Jeans Death

Incorrect date listed. Jean did not die in 1760 as some have in their trees. It’s believed she died at least 10 years before Robert died in 1760. Robert remarried Mary and had 3 additional children with her before he died in 1760. Mary is listed in the settlement of his estate after probate without a will. Mary remarried Charles McCormick shortly after Robert's death. Jeans exact death date is unknown. Some children are listed as hers that are actually Mary’s children.
