Wendy - you have probably found more about your Legare question by now, but "Transactions of the Huguenot Society of SC" - #88, page 110, suggests that Nathan Legare's 1st wife, his cousin Mary Barksdale, was the Mother of his four children. His 2nd wife was Elizabeth Daniel whom he married in 1774.
I do not have the proof of this - the article is about the Barksdale Family. It also says that daughter Mary died unmarried. Her brother Nathan married Mary Toomer.
His will, however, Will Abstract Book 4, p, 2 [Carolyn Moore] gives 4 daughters and two are named Mary!! The Mary that you are researching must have been born after 1774, as you say in your message.
I have researched this Legare family if you would like to compare notes.
