Biography
Mary Stite's parents are given as Richard Stites (1640-1702) and Mary Underhill (1640-1702) Mary's marriage to Thomas Carman January 1704.
Notes
- Note NI45From Marvin Carman via Robert Williamson, April 93; Sarah Brinkerhoff
- given as his wife in Powell Genealogy
- He married again, Ruth _____?______
Mary was born, probably on the Stites farm in what is now Old Westbury, in about 1678 to Richard Stites and Mary Underhill Naylor Stites. She was their seventh child and second daughter. She is listed with her parents in the 1698 Hempstead Census. Her father died in 1702 and her mother may also have died that year. Her older brothers moved to Cape May, NJ (Henry & Benjamin) and to the West Fields of Elizabeth Town, NJ (William). Mary may have married Thomas Carman and lived out her life in Hempstead. However, there is a 1759 will for Thomas Carman of Hempstead that identifies his wife as Ruth (and daughter Sarah). There is an obvious problem if this is the same Thomas Carman who is identified here as the husband of Mary Stites.
