The parents of the John George referenced above are in this Wikitree profile: John George Sr. (1665-abt.1715). It needs to be merged with another, but the parents, Nicholas George and Abigail Unknown, are correct.

"On the death of John Rowe (October 12, 1677) he became joint pastor with Theophilus Gale of Howe’s congregation in Baker’s Court, Holborn; but in the following year, on Gale’s death, removed to Newington Green, where he was minister of an independent congregation until Lee migrated to New England in 1686, and on the formation of a church at Bristol in Rhode Island was chosen minister on May 8, 1687, but after the revolution he decided to return to England. He sailed from Boston October 2, 1691. His ship was seized by a French privateer and taken to St. Malo. His wife and daughter were separated from him and, unknown to him, were sent to England. Overcome with grief, he died at St. Malo of a fever about December 1691, and was buried obscurely outside the town. In his will he left property to his wife Martha, and books and manuscripts to his four daughters, Rebecca, Anna, Lydia, and Elizabeth. His daughter Lydia married John George, a merchant of Boston, and after George’s death became, on July 5, 1716, the third wife of Cotton Mather. She died in January 1733-1734."- https://www.apuritansmind.com/puritan-favorites/samuel-lee-1625-1691/
This Lydia Lee has the same DOB and DOD as Lydia Lee George Mather, married to Rev Dr. Cotton Mather 1682-1728. There is a note showing this person to be the third wife’s of Dr. Cotton Mather.
