• Notes

  Mary was born in Virginia and was transported with them in 1653 when they moved to Maryland. One source estimates her birth date as 1637. Montgomery estimates it at 1644 and the seventh child of Richard. She is listed in her father's wilhe wife of Thomas Stockett and appears to have been in her father's favor. One source, Mrs. O. F. Weissgerber from Chula Vista Ca. lists a daughter, Elizabeth, by Mary's second husband, George Yates. (C-637) She had several more sons and daughters with her second husband. She was widowed a second time when he died in 1691. He was also of gentle birth with a Coat of Arms on his silver. (C-650)
