[Note: for reasons unexplained, traditional sources pretty much ignore the first record, or assume it is an error, rather than a separate daughter named Mary. That this may not be the right approach is suggested by the discrepancy with Mary's age at death (3 years off). A brief discussion of this, and how it relates to a similar issue regarding brother Joseph, may be found on his page.]
