Research Notes
Previous versions of this profile included marriages to John Barnett[2]. and Thomas Robbins[3], but those marriages were to different women.
There do not seem to be any sources for her other than the Torrey citation which does not include a first name or maiden name.
It's possible that Mary is buried at the Rowley Burial Ground, Main Street, Rowley, Essex, Massachusetts, as that is believed to be where John Kelly is buried, but there don't seem to be any records to confirm or refute that.

"Mary Nancy Bishop" existed at that time. Any such person could have been "Mary" or "Nancy," but not both. Further, the vitals above say that "Mary Nancy" was born and christened in Kingston, Surry in 1619, but then she is linked to a set of parents who had all their children christened in Bridport, Dorset - a VERY long hike from Surry! I don't even know that her maiden name was "Bishop." Can someone help me out here? I have zero evidence for that proposition.
I checked ancestry trees - they call her Mary Nancy and her father is a John Bishop https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/22070951/person/312051852446
