Mary was born in Calvert County MD of parents unknown to me at this time. She married Edward Richards [1678-1755] of Manchester, Lancashire England before 1710. Edward had come to the new world and ported in Chesapeake Bay. Their first-born son, Benjamin; was born in Maryland in 1710.

Edward and Mary had these children:
1. Benjamin [1710] +Ann Merryman
2. Matthew [1711-27 Nov 1751] + Maria Corem Carmack
3. Ann [1717] +? Morgain
4. Sarah [1719] +? Phippen
5. Daniel [1719-31 Oct 1787] +Catherine Carmack
6. Elizabeth [1721] +? Simons
7. Rachael Sue [1723] +? Sice
8. Patience [1724] +Thomas Story
9. Richard [1725] +Sarah Hooker 14 July 1754
10. Lydia [1727] +William Winchester
11. Stephen [1728] +Mary Elizabeth Carmack
12. Mary [1732] +Richard Vaughn

After living in Dorcester County until 1729, the family moved to join a forming Gunpowder Quaker Meeting about 15 miles north west of Baltimore. In 1739, Edward moved his family 13 miles further north west to land he had purchased. There they began a Quaker Meeting and settled for good.

First-born son Benjamin took his family and moved to Virginia in 1750. Mary lost her son Matthew to an early death in 1751, then her husband Edward succumbed in 1755.

Mary lived on thirty years after Edward had died. He had made provision for her in his will, and was no doubt looked after by her married sons and daughters who lived nearby.
