Mary Pottinger md. (?) Congrove, MD, before 1768
From the book "Across the Years in Prince Geroge's County" by Effie Gwynn Bowie, is the following information.
In his will of 1738 Robert Pottinger left (among other bequests) his daughter Mary Pottinger, 200 acres near the Eastern Branch.(She must have been an adult at that time.)
"Ann Pottinger, widow of Robert (d. 1738) in her will, proved 3 February 1768, devised to four daughters Eli8zabeth Cramphin, Ann Beall, Rachel Magruder and Eleanor McGill."(There are other bequests, but did not notice anything left to daughter Mary; possibly she was deceased)....."To granddaughters Elizabeth and Sarah Smith, daughters of my daughter Mary Congrove."
There are no other listings for this surname in the index.
