Mary was the daughter of Thomas Canby, of Thorn, Yorkshire, England, and his wife Sarah Jervis Canby. The family were Quakers.

The birthdate used above is from the Gregorian calendar. Quaker religious records from the period -- in which the Julian calendar began the year in March -- recorded Mary's birth on the 14th day of 10th month, 1708.

She married Joseph Hampton on Oct. 8, 1722 (the 8th day of the 8th month, 1722) in Buckington Monthly Meeting, Buckingham Twp., Bucks Co., Pennsylvania. The surname was often spelled Hamton.

They had seven children: Sarah in 1723, John in 1725, Benjamin in 1728, Jane in 1731, Joseph in 1736, David in 1737 and Mary in 1739. The family lived in Wrightstown.

It is assumed, but not confirmed, that she was buried in the Wrightstown Friends Meeting Cemetery.
