[On 22 May 1693, "of Boston", she sold Hugh Peter's tract to Henry Browne, Jr., of Salisbury (see Source:Historical Collections of the Danvers Historical Society (805666), p. 8:56, citing Essex Deeds, p. 11:180), and on 2 Mar 1694-5, "of Boston", she sold the salt marsh at Plum Island to ten men (see Source:Tenney, Martha Jane. Tenney Family, or, the Descendants of Thomas Tenney of Rowley Massachusetts, 1638-1904, p. 14, citing Essex Deeds, p. 16:43). These were the two parcels of property she inherited through the above agreement.]

Dec. 3, 1711: "Mrs. Margaret Corwin, Mr Jn'o Corwin's Widow, Maiden name Winthrop, is buried in Gov'r Winthrop's Tomb. Berarers, Cooke, Sewall; Addington, Joseph Lyde esq'r; Eliakim Hutchinson esq'r, Andr. Belchar esq'r. Neither Gov'r Dudley, nor Gov'r Saltonstall there." - Sewall
- ↑ Many sources give a death date of 28 Sep 1697 date, but they are secondary with no explanation given. Some of these are Source:Felt, Joseph B. Annals of Salem, p. 274; Source:Savage, James. Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, p. 1:488; Source:Torrey, Clarence Almon. New England Marriages Prior to 1700, p. 184; Source:Corwin, Edward Tanjore. Corwin Genealogy (Curwin, Curwen, Corwine) in the United States, p. 127; and others. The funeral description by SewallS4, including the mention of Winthrop's Tomb, seems pretty conclusive, however. Possibly all these sources were misled by an error by Felt (published in 1827, so the oldest of them)?
