Information found on Family Search, provided by John Christopher Dawson, would indicate that Mary Blackman died before June 1751 and the remaining children, including Anna, were born to the second wife Jemima.
I suspect that baptismal dates are possibly being used for birth dates, at least in some instances. ALSO NOTE: The Genealogy of the Benedicts of America by Henry Marvin Benedict (1870) says that Gideon Smith was not married to Anna Benedict but to SARAH BENEDICT who was born 6 February 1743. It says that Anna, with a birth date of 25 July 1757, married Calvin [Colville] Bradner.
