Research Notes

Vital Statistics

Birth'
Her birth date is listed as exact/certain 1 Jan 1714 in St George's Parish, Baltimore County, Province of Maryland in the data field. This date and place was previously sourced with an unreliable Marriage record (Ancestry pedigree chart) that lists her birth as 1717 in Virginia instead.^[5]

Marriage
Her marriage is sourced with the DAR index for her husband Moses Teague rather than the underlying records from these DAR Applications and Supplementals. A reliable source for their marriage should be added.

Death
Her death date is listed as about 12 Nov 1757 in the data field.

Her biography previously stated:

"She died on 12 November 1757 (or 1751), in Rowan, North Carolina, at the age of 43, and was buried in Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Salisbury, Rowan, North Carolina."

That statement was sourced with her Find a Grave memorial, but the memorial does not list that place, is unsourced, and does not have a photograph of a gravestone for her.

The death date of 12 November 1757 may be a typo of the date 12 November 1751 when her father's Will was proved. She was apparently alive when the Will was written on 5 September 1751. The attached sources for the Estate of her father do not appear to show that she was or was not alive after 12 November 1751.
