Wife of Matthew Prior of Killingworth upon Matinecock, and mother of John Prior and Elizabeth (Prior) Feke, through whom she is twice an ancestor of the Frosts. "His wife Mary (maiden name unknown)" (source, p. 290); WikiTree's "Mary Clark" has no source.

She was a widow by July 1693, when her daughter Martha's Quaker marriage was recorded as that of "Simon Cooper son of Mery Cooper of Oyster Bay and Martha Pryer dau. of Mery Pryer of Matinecock" (source, p. 291). She died in July 1700, and the compilers thought she and Matthew were "doubtless laid in the Underhill Burying Place at Killingworth, where stones with Prior initials are seen" (p. 290).
