Wording of a monumental inscription in Malborough, Devon:
"Nicholas Adams of Lower Soar otp buried 14 September 1744 aged 88. Also Mary his wife bur 15 June 1727 aged 61. Also THEIR DAUGHTER Mary WIFE of William Adams of Mary Knowle d 25 January 1792 aged 71 years. Also his brother Nicholas Adams of Barton Hall itp d 3 July 1796 aged 74"
This is clearly impossibly garbled. Some day I will get to the church and read the inscription.
I take it to mean that Mary was the daughter of Nicholas Adams and Mary (nee Evans)
Mary married William Adams of Mary Knowle 26 May 1720 at Marldon, Devon.
Online trees provide a baptism and a burial date for Mary, but these are so imprecise, I take them with a pinch of salt.
