Prisilla Pore, daughter of Daniel and Mary (Farnum) Pore, was born 22 June 1667 in Andover, Massachusetts[1][2]
Abraham Moore and Prissilla Poor of Andover, Massachusetts married 14 Dec 1687 in Andover.[3][2]
Priscilla received Meadow land on the west side of the Shawsin, from her father's estate.[2]
After the death of Abraham in 1706, Priscilla More, widow, and Solomon Reies of Chelmsford, announced their intention to marry on Mar. 12, 1708-9.[3]
Therefore a death date of 29 Feb 1708 is impossible. There is no further record for Priscilla, and a death record for Priscilla Reies was not recorded, although "Reies" probably has alternate spellings.
A merged in profile has suggested that Priscilla's second husband was Solomon Keyes. Following are good reasons to believe this to be true. Further confirmation would be helpful.
There are no other records for the surname Reies in Massachusetts, so we know it's an odd spelling.
There are no records in Chelmsford or Andover for a Solomon (sounds like) Reese or (sounds like) Rice.
A son Zebadiah was born to Solomon Keyes and his wife Persilla on 11 Jan 1710[4]
Keyes is spelled Keies in the birth record for Solomon's daughter Ruth in 1671.[5]
A look at the original might solve this, but all that's online at the moment are indexes and derived printed records.
