Hester was born about 1720. She passed away in 1796.
From Thomas Ferrier and Some Descendants:
Thomas Ferrier married Hester Lucky before 1757, perhaps several years earlier. The four children named below may have been the younger survivors of a larger family. Thomas died in Orange Co., April 1, 1792. Hester is said by one tradition to have come from Holland; (but, probably, was not Dutch); by another, in no way consistent with this, she was a fellow-passenger with Thomas by the "George and Anne", in 1729. In latter case she was then but a child of ten years or younger, brought with her parents or near kindred to fulfill a destiny then unimagined. The family name is not unknown in the Wyoming valley, for Moses Lucky witnessed a deed of gift from Benjamin Carpenter, of Kingston, Penn, to his son, James Carpenter, Jan 25, 1799. Hester's birth can not well be placed earlier than 1720. She died March 17, 1796. The order of children's birth is as yet not certainly known, but it is here assumed, provisionally, on fair inference from scanty evidence, to have been as follows :
Hester, 2nd married to Benjamin Carpenter.
Jane, married to Rev. Anning Owen.
Robert, born Oct. 9, 1762 ; married Mary Wilcox, March 9, 1785.
Sarah, born Aug. 17, 1767 ; married to David Perkins.
