Thomas died June 7, 1769 only a few years after the move to North Carolina and was buried in the Bell-Welborn Cemetery in Randolph City, Deep River Settlement, North Carolina.
According to researcher Gary Strader, Mary was close friends with Martha and William Bell.
After the death of her first husband, Martha McFarlane McGee married Captain William Bell, who was the first sheriff of Randolph County, North Carolina. Martha was a midwife, and often traveled about the countryside to see to the birth of children, and also to care for those who were ill. She was a devoted Presbyterian, and converted her first husband from the Church of England to the Presbyterian Church, and persuaded him to leave some property to the church. She was a patriot and a spy during the Revolution. The Bells are buried in the Bell-Welborn Cemetery.
