Frances and Alice have a son John Smith-14976 who also has a daughter Mary Smith-3327.
The birth dates seem to be more in line with those of John's daughter Mary rather than Frances' daughter Mary. Based on the dates in the Wiki-Tree profile for Alice (Unknown-309794) Smith. Alice would have been over 53 years old at the time of the birth of Mary Smith b. 15 Nov 1648. She would also have been quite old to have Benjamin and Hannah given the dates in the profiles and not having any other children between 1621 and 1637 seems odd as well.
