Biography

Mary was born before 1690 and probably closer to and before 1680 as she had grown children in 1721 when her father wrote his will in Norfolk Co. ^[1]

She was living in 1721 as well as her husband when both were mentioned in her father's will^[1].

She passed away after 1730^[2] and before 1746 based on an apparent assumption of a Robert Berry (son?) indenturing himself to Samuel Hallowell ^[3] was somehow a consequence of her death (requires further explanation).
