Mary (__________) (of the Mayflower)
F, #10973, d. circa 18 April 1643
| Birth* | | Mary (__________) (of the Mayflower) was born at England http://millennium.fortunecity.com/oldemill/220/d0000/f0000247.html#NI4274
Died at age 57. The maidename and parentage of William Brewster's wife are unknown and unproven. In fact, it is really not known whether Mary of the Mayflower was his first and only wife and mother of his children, or if she was a second wife. As to her identity, a number of theories exist. The most popular of all the theories, well liked by descendants due to the very distinguished nobility, is that she is Mary Wentworth, who had been a neighbor of William. This is also one of the most credible theories, but is not proven. It was advanced by John G. Hunt, of Bowling Green, VA but he later abandoned the Wentworth theory in favor of Mary Wyrall of Loversall (near Doncaster), dau. of Thomas and Frences (Mallory) Wyrall in his 1984 booklet, "Of Mary Brewster", wherein he also elaborates Mary Wyrall's gentile ancestry, also containing royalty. This is also cited in Terry/Harding, "A Notebook on the Descendants of Elder William Brewster of Plymouth Colony". Other theories have also been proposed. |
