Notes

From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Beez-1

Iidentify her as the first and only wife of Peter Hanks from oft-cited marriage records in St. Anne's Parish, Anne Arundel County.[2]

  • birth: perhaps 1680
  • marriage: August 20, 1702 (as stated by Fishman, citing St. Anne's Parish) or 1707
  • death: on or after April 1733; assuming she was the only wife of Peter, she have died some time after he wrote his will, in which he made his wife a legatee without giving her name. The will was dated April 3, 1733[3] -- some say she died around 1740.

Very little is known about Mary Beez (sometimes also spelled Beeze -- her name is presumed to be taken from her marriage record).[citation needed]

As she was married to a Hanks man, genealogists studying the ancestry of Abraham Lincoln identified her in their quest for information on Nancy Hanks' lineage. (Although her husband Peter is not ancestor of Nancy's the researchers did not know this at the time.)

Warren and Chidsey researched Mary's husband. Records of their correspondence are held and published by the Lincoln Financial Foundation.[1]

We identify her as the first and only wife of Peter Hanks from oft-cited marriage records in St. Anne's Parish, Anne Arundel County.[2]

   birth: perhaps 1680
   marriage: August 20, 1702 (as stated by Fishman, citing St. Anne's Parish) or 1707
   death: on or after April 1733; assuming she was the only wife of Peter, she have died some time after he wrote his will, in which he made his wife a legatee without giving her name. The will was dated April 3, 1733[3] -- some say she died around 1740. 

Mary and Peter appear in some un-sourced indexes with varying vitals. See his profile .

A review of the actual St. Anne's Parish records would hopefully provide more and more certain information
