Whos is the correct wife or wives of Davis-53640

Question

Rev Aaron Davis is my 9th great grandfather but I am having trouble with his correct wife.  My sources only say she was Mary Unknown but other well intended wikitreeers have connected her to Mary (Cooke) Taber, Cooke-24 and to Mary Rodman.  If she was Cooke-24 then she is a Mayflower family member but cannot prove it with my sources.  Perhaps the Mayflower Families for Five Generations could determine if my Mary is the daughter of John Cooke and Sarah Warren, but I do not have access to this source.  Can someone more versed in the Mayflower lineage help me.  I have also noticed that there is another Aaron Davis profile Davis-60009 that should probably be merged with my Aaron Davis, but I would like to resolve the wife issue before this is done.  Thanks in advance to any help you can give.

David, do you know which First Baptist Church with certainty? The records of many of those colonial era churches are preserved and I would go straight to that source if it can be found. Just digging around a bit I was uncertain which church this would be. Does it still exist? If not, what church did it merge with.

Answer 1

Francis Cooke and Richard Warren are my 10th great grandfathers.  Mary Cooke Tabor Davis (3) was born to John Cooke (2) and Sarah Warren Cooke (2).  She was born  1645 in Plymouth, Mass.  She first married Philip Tabor  1646-1693 in New England in 1668 [ US New England Marriages prior to 1700 for Mary Tabor] secondly  she married unknown Davis 1693 [ New England Marriages prior to 1700 Davis].  Another source is the Mayflower Fifth Generation Decendents  Francis Cooke vol 12. , Mayflower Births and Deaths vol 1 and 2, for Mary Cooke

Many sources site her birth as 1657 which would be impossible when she first married 1668 in all these sources. My source was US International Marriages 1560-1900 Davis.   Please contact me if wish to verify anything else.  I am on WiKi tree as Stanton 3772, but another family branch.  I am on Ancestry as Diane Pomponi Family Tree.

Diane,

Thank you for your answer.  I am aware that Mary Cooke Taber Davis was a daughter of John Cooke and Sarah Warren, but what I am trying to find out is if the Mr. Davis that she married 2nd was my Aaron Davis.  I have not found proof that he is the same person.  Also the children of Aaron Davis could not be children of Mary Cooke Taber Davis as she married Mr. Davis after they were born.   I also have a problem with the Mary Unknown that Aaron Davis married.  There is another profile on Wikitree for Aaron Davis that married Mary Rodman.  Before I request a merge of the Aaron Davis profiles I would like more proof if Mary Rodman is the correct first wife of Aaron Davis.  Too many wives all named Mary are currently attached to his profile,
