read the transcript
Identity and issue of MARY WALTHALL, second wife of William Bass (m. 31 Oct 1747), verified against the Bass family Bible as printed by Bell (1961), William Bass's own will (Chesterfield WB 2:221), and the will of JEREMIAH WALTHALL (Chesterfield WB 1:152). Supports her death 11 Jun 1791 and her 7 children. ⛔ PROVENANCE: PRINTED ABSTRACT throughout — no original manuscript was read. ⚠️ Owen does NOT descend from Mary Walthall; his line runs through William's FIRST wife, Martha Clay. She is cited here because she is entangled with the same Bible record, not because she is on the direct line.
