About Mary Price
Evidence needed to support as mother of Edward MacBean
http://csharris.blogspot.com/2015/08/where-do-your-ideas-come-from....
CS Harris says: "Incidentally, although history records that Goditha was James II's mistress (Samuel Pepys rather nastily refers to her as "fat Price"), the birth of her son[(?? Mary Price might be referred here as she is the mother of *Edward MacBean*)] is not officially recorded, and I've received some ugly "you made that up" pushback on-line for telling this story. However, in addition to the sword, necklace, and letter, Polly [a distant cousin?] also had in her possession ancient pages cut from a beautiful, gold-leafed, illuminated bible that had Edward's genealogy going back on both sides. I've also been involved in genetic research for porphyria, and my version of that nasty blood disorder is extraordinarily rare and traces back to the Stuarts. It's all enough to convince me the story of Mary's parentage is true and I frankly don't care if anyone else believes it. I've told the tale only because it felt wrong to let people think I was clever enough to make up the necklace legend when all I did was borrow it. Apart from which, if I wanted to invent grand genetic ties, I'd pick people I admired more than a woman who has gone down in history as "fat Price," a guy who got his head cut off, and another guy who lost his throne! What a heritage."

Any leads, documents, and information regarding the Illegitimate daughter of King James II/VII and Goditha Price is highly welcomed.
Many unanswered questions regarding this. Is "Mary Price Stuart Born 1653" the same person as the Quaker "(Mary?) Jane (Price?) Stuart? Born 1654"? If not Mary Stuart is James II's eldest child???
