Martha Egerton Kingsbury was born on 16 July 1758.1 She never married. If Martha Kingsbury was beloved by Nathan Hale, the 'Martyr Spy,' as is asserted, the hero must have been a fickle sweetheart, for it is well known that he was bethrothed at the time of his death to Alice Adams of Canterbury, widow of Elijah Ripley, her mother having married Hale's father as his second wife.2 She died in April 1823 at age 64.1

Dates using 'say' are educated guesses by me.
If I don't know a female last name she will be identified with a 'Mrs' and her husband's name.
MALE or FEMALE means I don't know the first name.
