Mary Railton was mentioned in her father Christopher's will, so she was presumably his married daughter
She was a minor beneficiary of the will of her Brother Phillip in 1740, where she was described as Mary Railton.

Ann was bequeathed 10 pounds in her father's will of 1726, at which time she was still unmarried.
If her mother was Mary Paipe, she would have been christened at Aikton on 15th May 1692, but this seems very unlikely to me.

There were at least two John Hardings having children in the 1720s, so finding out which were his is not possible based just on the IGI,

Will/Admon

Arthur Harding was one of the executors of his father's will of 1729, along with 3 of his brothers, so he must presumably have been born before 1708.
He was also executor of the will of his brother Philip in 1740

This is a transcription of his own will .....

Mary's maiden name may have been Nixon.
There is an IGI record of a marriage of Christopher Harding and Mary Paipe on 30th January 1682, recorded at both Aikton and Holme Cultram, but these places are at Wigton, a long way away from Irthington.
Mary was bequeathed the household goods that she brought to the house in her husband's will of 1726
