"The two terms, "consort" and "relict" were often used to describe women. Some
have misinterpreted the terms to mean that the parties were not legally married
but that is incorrect. 

"Consort" was used when the wife died before the husband. "Relict" was used as
we use the term widow; when the wife survived the husband. In this particular
case it indicates that Mariah Askew died after her husband."  Contributed by Mitzi Bateman
