I looked up Mary's husband on ancestry.com and it lists this information on him: John Josiah Morton II

1683–1753 BIRTH 1683 • Henrico County, Colony of Virginia DEATH MARCH 22, 1753 • Halifax, Halifax County, Colony of Virginia Just an FYI if you are not certain of dates/places. I know other sources are used too so I am not saying go with this one in any way. I have his spouse's record.
