Tracy's soapbox comment -- it is such a shame that the woman
who carried and labored to deliver all these children does not get
a single mention. "Children of James Torrence", indeed. Her name
is "Jennet" as seen in the will.

Still, this woman spent almost ever year except during the revolution,
either pregnant, or having just given birth, and frequently both. She
held down the house with 7 children under 10, during the American
Revolution.
