Subject:family relationships

I am in a debate reference the use of the word "daughter" in a will written in 1897.
I contend that the word "daughter" can have meaning other than a blood daughter and can also refer to a
step-daughter, adopted daughter, daughter-in-law or granddaughter.
I know that legally today,the relationship must be precise, but I am referring to the date above.
Can you help, please?

Thank you,
Lannie Hartman
