• Notes

  Mary Preston is believed to be the wife of Peter Mallory for the following reasons. 1) He was married to a Mary when he came before the courts on Feb. 6, 1648/1649. 2) John Hunter signed the Oath of Allegiance immediately under Petery in 1644. In John Hunters will dated May 15, 1648, he bequeathed his small estate to 1) Sarah Meeker, wife of William Meeker, 2) Mary, wife of Peter Mallory and 3) Mary, widow of William Preston. Sarah is a daughter of William Preston. Mary is likely to be also. He had a daughter Mary, who no other marriage has been found for. It is believed that John Hunter and Peter Mallory lived with the Prestons before Peter got married.
