Biography

Mary was born in 1711. She was the daughter of Edward and Jemima (Turner) Foster.

She married Joseph Jacobs 30 Aug 1734 at Scituate.[1]

In 1793, six people petitioned for the probate court to appoint a guardian to her estate due to her age and her inability to take care of herself or her estate. She was represented as non compos mentis.[2] In 1794, an account of her guardianship by Joseph Soper was recorded.[3]

She passed away in 1794. She is buried at Jacobs-Collamore Cemetery.[4]
