Mary [the daughter of Charles and Abigail Cannaday] was born 26 of 8 mo 1781

The last digit of the year is formed differently from the first digit, but also differently from a 2 on the same page. It is formed similarly to the final 1 in William's birth year (1791). Given that Aug 1781 is about halfway between the birth dates of her siblings, it is assumed that 1781 is the correct birth year.
