Open question: Who was Polly Trent?

Mary, called Polly, was the widow of John D. Reese of Shade Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and the mother of eight children. Family trees call her Mary Trent and give her life as 1787 to 1881, but those details trace back to one unsourced tree. The only Trent head of household in Somerset County in 1800 and 1810 was James Trent, who died in 1823, and we have found no record that names her as his daughter.

Can you help?
