(comment by C. Minson. We need to know the date of the will for better understanding of  the above data.
I do not know what the July 4, 1749 date implies.   In one place I see granddau, Patience Alderman,  born 1745  which would make her  3 years old in 1748.  ? Another place, the AF, has granddau, Patience Alderman born July 4, 1749.  This makes no sense at all if Mary Sweeney really died May 26, 1748.  A copy of the original will needs to be reviewed..)

Conflicting death dates. One date in the Ancestral file given for Mary's death was 12 Jan 1716 in Simsbury CT. Another lists 12 Jan 1715.  However these dates conflict with her marriage to Miles Sweeney in 1720.   The will of Mary Sweeney gives date 26 May 1748
