Hello all,
I am reconsidering the surname Bennett for the wife of Robert Proctor (b. 1720 died 1784).Actually, I am unable to find any evidence that Robert's wife was named Mary.I'm not sure if her name is known through oral history or if her name is based purely on speculation.
There was a Mary Proctor mentioned as a daughter in the will of James Bennett but she was married before James wrote the will in 1651. She could, therefore, be the wife of Robert Proctor Sr. born about 1686 (father of Robert Jr.).
Does anyone have a record of the death of Robert Proctor in 1784?Was there a will?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
