    The date that William Tipton married Hannah Price is placed around 1719 because their first child was born in May of 1721.  Hannah, the daughter of Mordecai and Mary (Parsons) Price, was born about 1700 in Baltimore County, Maryland.  The Price family appears to have been Quaker because may of the records of that family are found in the Gunpowder Meeting records and William converted to that religion later in live.

William Tipton's 1726 will gave all of his land and holdings to his two sons, but, in the event of their death, the estate was to go to his daughter Sarah. It was not so stated in the will, but the widow retained the right to live on the estate and was the guardian of the children and executor of the estate.
In 1727, Jonathan Tipton, Hannah's father-in-law, gave her "in consideration of love, good will, and affection", a servant boy, three cows, seven pigs, and various and sundry household goods to be held in trust for Jonathan's granddaughter, Sarah, until the day of her marriage. In the event of Sarah's death, the goods were to be divided equally between Samuel and Mordecai.
Hannah Tipton, who was 24 or 25 at the time of her husband's death, did not stay a widow long. She married John Bosely about 1728, dividing his estate among his widow and his two sons. When Hannah died in 1777, she divided her estate among her three Tipton children and her several Bosely grandchildren.
