Mary Woolman, daughter of John Woolman and Elizabeth Bourton, was born at Burlington Co., New Jersey, 7 May 1692 unmarried but over 21 when her mother wrote her will in 1718.1,2 She died at Fairfax Co., Virginia, before 27 November 1746, when daughter Hannah was received by request into the membership of the Fairfax Monthly meeting and the record noted both parents were deceased.

Son William reportedly became "an orphan at an early age, for his father died when he was about twelve years old, and his mother at a still earlier period."3,4

Mary married William Hunt at Friends Meeting House, Springfield, Burlington Co., New Jersey, 14 February 1720.5,6
