Person:Mary Greenway (1)

While Anderson, in "The Great Migration Begins", says Mary was "born about 1606, aged 29 in 1635" daughter of John Greenaway, and shows John's wife to be Mary, Anderson questioned whether wife Mary was the mother of all the children. Reed and Mahler, in the Millett article, give her baptismal date and call her "daughter of John and Ursula (___) Green(a)way of Dorchester, Mass." Since the baptismal record itself does not give the mother's name, we are left wondering whether this is an error, or if there is additional information which was not published in these articles.

    In 1648 Mary Millett was one of those signing a petition from Dorchester in favor of noted midwife, Alice Tilley, wife of William Tilley.
    Millet says she died "5 June or 27 Sept 1682 at Gloucester MA."  On 26 September 1682 the heirs agreed regarding division of their parents' estate (Ipswich Court).  The record includes money due Sarah, widow of John Millett, "for her own use this to be for the tending of their mother Mary Millet late deceased".  On 27 September 1682 administration was granted to son Thomas.

   1605 The vth day of November was christened Mary the daughter of John Greenway of Dunsford Mill

   Hard to tell as cited, but this may be an article in The American Genealogist, as the Great Migration Begins attributes the baptism date of 6 Nov 1605 to TAG 74:195 which may be the beginning of the cited article, and the page quoted here may be a continued installment of the same article? She was 29 on the passenger list of 13 Apr 1635 (see Person:Thomas Millett (2)).

   Mary Greenways baptismal date was given as 5 November in the original records, then it somehow was changed to 6 November later on.
