between 1 September 1820 and 11 December 1823 probably Bulloch County, Georgia

I know of only one record that mentions 1317Mary by name: Among records pertaining to Georgia's 1820 land lottery, "Mary Bird of Tilmans district Bulloch County" is named as the fortunate drawer of Gwinnett County, district 7, lot 354.1 The surveyor's field notes for this lot are copied below; notice 1317Mary's name along the left margin. The drawing was officially held on 1 September 1820, so 1317Mary must have been living at that time.

I've traced the (approximated) location of 1317Mary's lot on the master map. As you can see, the land now lies along the shore of Lake Lanier, a man-made lake created in 1956.
Lot 354 was the subject of another record three years later: On 11 December 1823, eight people agreed to sell lot 354. Judging from this record, we can conclude that 1317Mary had died, and that the eight people are her heirs (namely, her sons or sons-in-law), as discussed previously.
