Is it known what became of Anne Puleston after her marriage and birth of her son Richard 3 Sep 1765?

My interest is that her husband Richard Parry Price, according to FamilySearch, had two children by one Ann Wilson; Charles in 1766 and William in 1781, both of whom were given the surname Wilson. William was my 3 greats-grandfather.

It appears that Ann was Richard's mistress; but 1766 is very soon after such an ecstatically anticipated marriage in 1764! Unless, that is, Anne Puleston died in childbirth, as did Richard's first wife, Dorothy Byrne.

I am trying to find more information on R P Price. Some trees have him fathering a son named Walter. Walter's mother being Mary Woods.
