This source below eludes to an orphan son of Col. Benjamin Rozier. Ben's first wife Mary died at 19, perhaps in childbirth? Ben then marries Anne, 16 years his junior and dies in 1681 when Anne is about 18. Was Anne raising the orphan son mentioned in the records? Did Ben marry her for that purpose? No children are listed for Ben & Anne.

COURT OF 9 Aug 1692, Liber Q, Page 57 - Regarding Notley Rozer, orphan son of Col. Benjamin Rozer; Anne, relict of Benjamin, m. Edward Pye (Charles County Land Records, Volume III, p 8)

Anne remarried to Col. Edward Pye because she has a son by him in 1685 and 4 others with no specific date of birth. So at 35 Anne is widowed and raising 5 children.

My reasons for discussion are 1) Who is this orphaned son, and 2) Did Anne marry a 3rd time as was common to have help to raise her 5-6 children?

Here’s Anne stepson Notley Rozer reunited with his family. Yes, it looks like he was raised by his step mother and her 2nd husband Col. Edward Pye

There’s no record I see for Anne’s death and / or more marriages. Did she go to England with her mother and sister? Jane Calvert & Jane Paxton

Ooooo, Erica! That sounds like an excellent theory about going back to England. Further records (marriage, other children, death) would be there.

Did widow Anne Pye die in 1699?

https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/refserv/bulldog/bull97/html/bul11-17.html

Edward Pye, son of John, came to Maryland in 1682 and died in 1696. He married Anne, widow of Benjamin Rozer, daughter of Henry and Jane (Lowe) Sewall, sister of Nicholas Sewell. Pye was the step-son-in-law of Charles Calvert, 3rd Lord Baltimore, and Anne was the sister-in-law of Philip Calvert. Edward Pye was a member of the Upper House and Governor's Council, a member of the Board of Deputy Governors, and a colonel in the army. At his death, his personal property was valued at £1,200.0.0.

Edward and his wife Anne were the parents of the following children: Henry, living 1716; Walter, died s.p. [sine prole, this is, without issue] in MD, having married a daughter of John Faunt of St. Mary's Co.; Charles; and Anne, married on 23 September 1714 to Robert Needham of Upper Hillston, County Monmouth.

Walter Pye, son of Edward and Anne, was described as "late of MD in the West Indies," when on 4 August 1699 administration was granted to Robert Chaplin, guardian of Charles, Walter, and Anne Pye, minors, nephews and niece of the deceased. (Withington, "Maryland Gleanings in England," Maryland Historical Magazine 2:282).
