Should Mary Maria (Youngs) Wells be included in PGM Adjunct?

Question

Mary Maria (Youngs) Wells -20 (needs help)

Says she was the wife of PGM migrant William Wells-639 of Southold, Long Island.

On her profile, "Not much is know about this woman  difficulty finding verifiable records... said to be YOUNGS...ascertain the value of the tradition which calls the second wife Mary 'Youngs... nothing to throw light on family..."  See also footnote to that statement on her profile.

We don't know when this person migrated. 

Since she is supposed wife of PGM migrant and since there are speculative origin theories, I would like to see her included in the Puritan Great Migration Project Adjunct and sub-project PGM Beyond New England.

Thank you.

Cheryl, go ahead and add the various templates. I'm hesitant to PPP her yet.  Does she need her LNAB changed to Unknown first ?

Also she wrote her will in 1676 but the unsourced death data claims she didn't die until 1709. That's rare. Can we confirm the death?

I attached Mapes as her second spouse.

Thanks Jillaine,

Yes on the last name - I think it should be unknown.  I'll suggest to the PMs in the comment section of the bio.  Usual procedure.

yes, the death needs to be researched.  I agree.
