  Family	Priscilla Beals,   b. 21 Nov 1746, Hingham, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States d. 5 Sep 1838 (Age 91 years)
  Marriage Banns	15 Dec 1770	Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States   [10]
  	Lists Priscilla as Mrs Priscilla Beals, which would indicate she is a widow. Knight is listed as Mr. Knight Brown, while other men are not listed that way. He may have had a previous marriage as well.
  Marriage	17 Jan 1771	Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States   [11, 12]
  	In the Massachusetts, Compiled Marriages, Priscilla is listed as Mrs. Priscilla Beals. This seems to imply to me that she may have been married previously. One record records a child of Knight Brown and Lydia Beals. Perhaps she was his first wife.
  Children	1. Susanna Brown,   b. 15 Mar 1780, Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States d. 31 Jan 1870, Randolph, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States (Age 89 years)   2.
