Mary Heard married James TANT around 1705. At the time of their marriage, James TANT had two children, Ann TANT and John TANT, by his first wife, Mary TATTERSHALL. Mary and James TANT then had three children:-Mathew TANT, born around 1705; Elizabeth TANT, and Mary TANT. They lived on plantation "Revell." James TANT died in 1717 and Mary administered his estate. 5 June 1718 Accounts showed her as Mary TANT but Accounts filed 11 May 1719 showed her as Mary FORD, wife of Robert FORD. So she certainly married a Robert FORD but the question is which one. It could have been Robert II or possibly, his son, Robert III. It is difficult to come up with a good estimate for her birth date; I would guess around 1685 which would make her 20 years younger than Robert II but older than Robert III. I am guessing she married Robert II and it is just a guess, but if so, she was not the mother of all of his children. We know daughter of Robert II, Teresa, was born in 1705, a good 14 years before Mary could possibly be married to Robert II. Again, just a guess but I doubt if she was the mother of any of the children of Robert II.
