Thanks for clearing that up. Yet another proof of how good I am at being
wrong. I have years of experience at it.

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.
