on the date of death?
In VB Hampton's book (cited below), appears the following:
"will of Joseph (2) Hampton is recorded in Bucks Country, Pa., Will Book #3.
It was made 9/3/1767; and the will was proved Nov. 19, 1767. Joseph
mentioned his wife Mary, to whom part of the home plantation was
bequeathed..."
So Mary cannot have been dead in 1754. She was very much alive in 1767.
Regards,
Mary Jo

Hi, Mary. I cannot add much to this discussion about sources, but my
records also read 1754. I do not know where I got it and it is possible
that Jean and I used the same source, but maybe it helps.

Thanks, Jean.
My source for Mary's death is In the Footsteps of Joseph Hampton and
the Pennsylvania Quakers, by Vernon Boyce Hampton, Doylestown, PA:
Bucks County Historical Society, 1940, p. 29. I haven't seen the year
1754, but I'd love to know your source. Living to 97 years old back
then wasn't impossible, but highly improbable.
