She married planter Richard Tuite who died in 1748 and later remarried John Carter, m.d. She was probably born in the second half of the 17th century.

"Lancaster" is often used for the County rather than the Town but I suggest you investigate Lancaster Gate in London for a possible Price's St. -- BobC ========== Change "null" to "news" in reply address.
