Records of the will? http://www.rootsweb.com/~vaessex/llatane.html
From there you have to do the math and deductive reasoning.
The Ships record of the of the Latane family only mentions 1 child.
The Will of Lewis Latane gives the daughters in the same order every time they are mentioned - and in most cases children were named in order of age - and Charlotee is named first. Also, in Lewis' will, Charlotte's husband is named, signifying her marriage, but the other daughters are not - indicating her as the oldest . Lewis also names all daughters except Charlotte in one paragraph where he mentions his wife - indicating her as the mother of those daughters, but not of Charlotte.
The will of Lewis Latane's mother-in-law Pheobe Slaughter, mentions Lewis' daughters, but in a different order than the will of Lewis, with Charlotte being named last and with a smaller inheritance, signifying her probablity of being a step-granddaughter.
Then you have to look at each of Lewis daughters and the ages of their children and back into the ages and probable dates of birth of the mothers.
That leads to the conclusion that Charlotte was the oldest and therefore the daugther of the immigrant unknown mother.
Mary Dean was definitely the mother of John (as in Lewis' will he names Mary "and our son" John), but Mariann is the daughter I question as to whether she was Phoebe or Mary's daughter.
