SCRIVNER
Seeking info on MARY COX SCRIVNER who died in Cannon Co. on Feb. 19, 1839. She was the widow of Revolutionary veteran Benjamin Scrivner who died in Smith Co. March 16, 1835. I’m guessing that she was living with one of her daughters when she died. Daughters married men named Cornelison, Patterson, Payne and Garvey.
