Tina,
You're correct, Charles Cavenah's will makes no mention to his wife. The information must have been derived from his daughter Mary Cavenah's will where she named her cousin as the son of Thomas Pollard, deceased.
The abstractor just assumed that Thomas Pollard must have been her uncle and the brother of her mother without considering what we discussed last week or, even if Thomas Pollard was her uncle, that her father's sister may have married Mr. Pollard.
Say that I have an uncle named John Smith who married my father's sister. That wouldn't mean that my mother was a Smith, but that's what the abstractor assumed.
