Biography
Mary Taylor married Edward Pike on 25 November 1778 in Harbour Grace, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.[1] Both of Carbonear, no witnesses listed.
They had:
- Samuel Pike was born on 11 October 1779 in Harbour Grace, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.[2]
- Anne Pike was born on 18 March 1781 in Harbour Grace, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.[3]
- Catharine Pike was born on 28 December 1787 in Harbour Grace, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.[4]
- Elizabeth Pike was born on 28 December 1787 in Harbour Grace, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.[5]
- Edward Pike was born on 28 December 1787 in Harbour Grace, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland.[6]
Mary Pike married William Simmonds on 12 January 1798 in Island Cove, Carbonear, Newfoundland.[7] She was a widow, it may have been his first marriage.
Mary Simmons died on 25 April 1831 and was buried in Carbonear, Avalon Peninsula Census Division, Newfoundland and Labrador.[8] [9]
Research Notes
- She may have been mentioned in a letter, published online, but it's quite unclear.[10]
- Extract from The Simmons Family of Newfoundland: Mary Taylor 1759-1831 suggests the location of Mary's grave provides evidence that she was the widow of Edward Pike when she married William Simmons:
- "Mary Taylor Pike Simmons" is buried beside her first husband Edward Pike and their 2 daughters Ann and Julianna that died young, the headstone clearly identifying her as Mary Simmons, wife of William Simmons. (includes photo of gravestone). In the same graveyard a few years later, her husband William Simmons was buried nearby alongside their grandson Francis Simmons (child of their son William); later their daughter-in-law Mary Simmons (wife of their son William) was buried beside Francis. A photo included on William Simmons 1763-1835 shows the proximity of the 3 headstones.
- Mary Taylor (1758-1831) is a potential duplicate worth further investigation
