Notes - note on Find a Grave:
Mary died in Prince George's County, Maryland, now Frederick County, Maryland. Here date and place of burial could not be found.
*****
Part of a letter I received: Letter of August 18, 1997 from Dr. Peter Stebbins Craig, F.A.S.G., 3406 Macomb St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016-3160 reads in part: "Peter Stille, son of Jacob Stille, followed Charles Hedges' [husband of his sister Maria Anne] children to Prince Georges (now Frederick) County, Maryland, witnesses the will of Andrew Hedges (son of Charles Hedges) on 13 March 1747/8 (Prince Georges County wills, 1:395) and was listed as 'next-of-kin' on inventories of Joseph Hedges who died in 1753."

I received a note from James Osbourn with this information that I thought should be shared.
"Mary died in Prince George's County, Maryland, now Frederick County, Maryland. Here date and place of burial could not be found.”
If she died in 1765 as your Death date shows, then it likely may not have been St. George’s County at that time. Frederick County was formed in 1748 from part of St George’s and part of Baltimore County. If we assume that she was still living on the Monocacy River where Charles was owner of several properties, then it would have been Frederick County.
