In her will she mentioned a niece, Mourning Dail, who was the daughter of her sister Polly Dail. We know that the elderly Able Dail's wife was named Mary from some Pitt County land records. Evidently Abel and Isaac married sisters. I am not sure I agree with this. I am more inclined to think the Polly was Polly Hardison.
