Biography

Priscilla was born about 1704. Priscilla Moore ... She passed away about 1768. [1]

Priscilla Moore married Samuel Evans on Dec. 7, 1738.

"An old tradition, dating back perhaps over a hundred years, is that Samuel Evans had twenty-two (in some sources, twenty-four) children by two wives. From various records we know that his first wife was named Sarah. She is named in deeds through 1731. Samuel’s last deeds, in 1768, indicate that his wife was then named Priscilla.

It is generally believed that she is the same as Priscilla Moore, who married a Samuel Evans in Ann Arundel County on December 7, 1738."

I don't know where the marriage date came from in John Moore and Priscilla Smith's profiles, but her parents were certainly old enough to have had her in 1704.

How could she be born in 1704, and her parents were married in 1722?

Moore-15779 and Moore-17901 appear to represent the same person because: I believe these are the same person.
