In Louisa Dillard's will, it is stated that, "I give and devise to Mary wife of Benjamin Farris, and heirs of her body by said Benjamin forever my negro woman Mary and her future increases." Later, it is stated that this clause was revoked and, "said woman Mary and her future increases" would go to Benjamin Farris's daughters, Elizabeth and Sarah, forever.

Louisa Dillard

There is a possible connection between the "negro woman Mary" mentioned in Louisa Dillard's will and the Mary listed under Charles Dillard's enslaved people. These individuals could be the same person or two separate people but the record does not state a connection.
