Mary's estate, consisting of property left to her by her father Nathaniel, was divided among her children by agreement dated 18 Apr 1740. It names her five living children: Seth, Mary Case, Joanna Smith, John, and Hezekiah. (ref E.B. Cole's James Cole book). The date leads to disagreement over her date of death. "Mary, wife of John" died 1711, and "John, Jr." remarried in 1715. However, "Mary, wider" died in 1738. Some sources use the later date, apparently ignorant of the 1740 will record of John Cole (which I don't have a primary source for) which would mean Mary would not have been a widow even had she lived to 1738.
