  	There is no record of Mary Humphrey's death. It can be safely presumed that she died before William Bennett married Hannah Goad. The date of this marriage also is not known. Winston Dalton's journal identifies James Bennett as the son of William and Hannah. James was born about 1755. Therefore, Mary likely died before 1755 and perhaps many years earlier.

• Notes

  It is known that William Bennett and Mary Humphries had at least five children together - Peter (bap. 21 June 1724), Elizabeth (bap. 1 Dec. 1726), William (bap. 5 Jan. 1728), Joseph (bap. 6 June 1731), and Richard (b. 6 Feb. 1733 and bap. 10 March 1733). William Bennett had sons Thomas (b. abt 1742) and Stephen (b. abt. 1744) whose mothers are not currently identified. They are too old to be be children of Hannah Goad who was born in 1732. They could be the children of Mary Humphries or another unknown wife of William Bennett.
