Do you have a source for the 1711 DOD? 1711 is the year she married George Brinton. They declared their intentions at the Chichester Meeting in 1711 and were married at Concord Meeting. "Joseph Brinton of the township of Thornbury, county of Chester, and province of Pennsylvania, yeoman and Mary Peirce, spinster, daughter of George Peirce of Thornbury, aforesaid; married 10th Mo. 6, 1711, at Concord Mtg." (ref: Brinton Genealogy, 135.)
