Biography

Mary Carter was born at Kennett, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Nancy Ann R. (McPherson) Carter (1714-1795) [1] and Nathaniel Carter (1707–1795). Note: The date of her birth, 08 Aug 1740 as recited in her grave memorial page online, probably is incorrect; since she was of the Society of Friends (Quaker) community, the eighth month of their calendar was October of any given year, thus the date expression of her birth per the Quaker calendar was 08: 08: 1740, which translates to 08 October 1740 per the Gregorian (modern) calendar.

She married 02 Dec 1761 at Immanuel's (Episcopal) Church, Tent, New Castle County, Delaware, Stephen Harlan. They had the following children:

  1. Elizabeth Harlan (1764-1845); married Eleazer Kersey
  2. Alice (Harlan) Robbins (1764-1835); married Moses Robbins
  3. Margaret Harlan (1766-1825); married Obed Bernard
  4. Edith Harlan (abt.1769-)
  5. Stephan Harlan Jr. (1772-1860); married Ann Farlow Smith
  6. Enoch Harlan Sr. (1776-1863); married Abigail Jones
  7. Mary Harlan (1779-1841); married William Morrison
  8. Ann Harlan (abt.1781-1866)
  9. Ruth Harlan (abt.1783-); married George Criscow

Mary (Carter) Harlan died 11 Jul 1824 in Randolph County, North Carolina. Interment was in Marlboro Friends Meeting Cemetery, Sophia, Randolph County, North Carolina, USA: Find A Grave: Memorial #164216427

They are both for the same person, born on the same date in the same place, married the same person on the same date in the same place, lived in the same place for their married lives, and died on the same date in the same place. Can't ask for more than that. Restarting the merge process.
