Notes 
Individual:
In Sarah OWENS probate record, Nancy is not the one receiving the inheritance, it is Benjamin her husband. therefore I pursume that Nancy is deceased by October 15 1796. This would be her sister not mother.

Owens, Sarah.Admin. of, to Zadock Hilford. March 25, 1796. Arch. vol. A38, pages 161-162. Reg. of
Wills, Liber N, folio 145. Note:—Arch. vol. A38, page 161 mentions heirs, William, Samuel & John Owens,
Nancy Downs; also mentions heirs of Elizabeth Hilford (Elizabeth Dorman, David, Boz, Robert & Martha
Hilford, wife of Jonathan Finsthwait)

Nancy was probably of age 16 and probably older as she is named in her mother's will of 1759, therefore born abt 1740. She could be older, but probably not much if any younger. She is also named as Nancy Owens not yet Downs, but she still may have be married. I find that after a parent dies the unmarried children tend to marry soon thereafter. So Benjamin and Nancy probably got married in about 1760. If this is close, surley there are children older that Curtis who was born 17 years later.[DOWNSOF DELAWARE2005GED.FBK.FBK.FBK.FBK]
