In the distribution of his brother's (Jonathan) estate in 1791, his legal representatives were listed as Jeremiah Lounsberry, Phineas Lounsberry, Stephen Lounsberry, Mary Lyon, Prudence Elliot, Sarah Holmes, Lydia Lounsberry and Elizabeth Lounsberry. The identity of Mary is uncertain, as Nehemiah did not name a daughter by the name of Mary in his will, which was written 23 Mar 1780.
