G2G: Who are the parents of Priscilla Mulliken who married Thomas Hunter in 1799?

Question

We have Thomas Hunter and Priscilla Mulliken married in 1799 who were the parents of Paschal Mulliken Hunter.

On Family Search the parents of Priscilla are listed as James Mullikin (1750 - 1804) and Eleanor Beanes (b. 1761).

They are already in WikiTree:

James Mullikin (abt. 1750 - 1804 https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mullikin-236

Eleanor (Beanes) Mulliken (abt. 1761 - 1805) https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Beanes-7

Though in the WikiTree profile for James it says that she passed away by 1804:

"Priscilla Mullikin, born 3 Feb 1782, died before 1804, Prince George's County, Maryland."

I am not sure if that is somehow related to her father James Mullikin's death year of 1804. Such as in a death date determined based on her information in his will?

The Priscilla Mulliken who married Thomas Hunter in 1799 had thirteen children between the years of 1795 or 1800 through 1822. She is listed as passing away on the 27th of October, 1849 in Pike, Missouri.

On Family Search it looks like all the sources listed for Priscilla Mulliken are of her marriage record with Thomas Hunter.  For James Mullikin there are two sources for his marriage record.

So the question remains:

Who are the parents of Priscilla Mulliken who married Thomas Hunter in 1799?

Are they James Mullikin and Eleanor Beanes?  If so she needs to be connected to them here on WikiTree.

Answer 1

James Mullikin, father of Priscilla, made a will prior to his death in 1804, in which he named "my two daughters, Henrietta Beanes Mullikin and Mary Mullikin". He later names "my five children"; the other three are sons James, William Beanes, and John Beanes. As he did not name Priscilla, it is to be assumed that she was deceased when he made his will. Therefore, if Thomas Hunter did in fact marry a Priscilla Mullikin, she was not the daughter of James Mullikin and Eleanor Beanes. On edit: I just noticed that Priscilla Mullikin and Thomas Hunter were married in Shelby County, Kentucky. James Mullikin who married Eleanor Beanes was of Prince George's County, Maryland, where he lived, died, and made his will. Geographically, the proposed connection is impossible.
