On 18 March 1650 Mary lodged a complaint that John Eubank has seized a manor her husband held at Chatham, County Durham while her husband was away and under a parliamentary sequestration order.[1] (There had been a previous legal case relating to Cleatham between her husband and John Eubank in 1640, suggesting that there may have been a long-running dispute over ownership.[4])
Somerset County, Maryland
Somerset County, Maryland was named after Mary.[5] (Anne Arundel County in Maryland was named after her sister Anne.[6])

I have now finished the main work I intend on this profile. If anyone spots any typos etc, please either correct them or message me. Thanks.
I have also expanded the profile of her husband John Somerset, whom Douglas Richardson has identified as in a trail from Gateway Mary Johanna Somerset to Surety Baron Saher de Quincy. This trail has not yet been developed by the Magna Carta Project.
As this profile is in a prospective trail from a Gateway Ancestor to a Magna Carta Surety Baron, I have made the Magna Carta Project a co-manager. Any questions, please contact me. Thanks.
