   Benjamin Price marriage to Elizabeth Hewett on 22 Jun 1730.
2. ↑ Mary died leaving a will dated: 8 May 1718,- Proved: 15 June 1718 naming children, John, Thomas, Benjamin, Stephen, Mordecai, Rachel, Hannah, Elizabeth wife of Thomas Carr, Leah Ford, Mary, and Sarah Price, and grand daughter Mary Carr; estate was admin. 4 Nov 1726, by Thomas Carr and named Dec's daughter Mary, w. of Jonathan Hanson; est. Was adm. 10 Nov. 1729, naming William Wheeler as the husband of Constant, widow and administrator. Of Stephen Price, and a daughter. Who married Thomas Taylor ; est. Was adm 25 May 1728; Mordecai and Mary had issue; Elizabeth, b. 1865, m. Thomas Carr on 22 Oct. 1705 at West River Meeting; Stephen, b. 1687; Mary, b. 1688/9, m. 1st. 29 Aug. 1718, Jonathan Hanson, and 2nd. Dr. George Walker; John b.1690; Leah, m. 1 Jan 1711 at All hallows Par., in A A Co. Md. to Thomas Ford;, Hannah, m. 1st. William Tipton, and 2nd John Bosley; Isabella, m.

Elizabeth Hewett on 22 June 1730; Thomas, b. 1 Jan 1722; Samuel, b. 1713. So, really Mary Parson Price death should look more like this: Bef. 15 June 1718. It's unlikely that she died on the day of writing her will. It happens and it's possible, but the Date of death is probably more likely somewhere between the date of writing dated 8 May 1718 - the Proving of her will 15 June 1718. Submitted by Cathi Gross
