"The Daughters of Simon1 Eire of Watertown and Boston, Mass." by Robert Charles Anderson, p. 65:21-23, suggests that Nicholas Guy had no daughter named Mary. Only one daughter named Anne is found in the records by Nicholas' first wife Anne King, and the purported marriage to Joseph Tainter in 1642 means she could not be a daughter by his wife Jane whom he did not marry until 1629. The passenger list of the 1638 Confidence (here, shows a daughter Mary, but Jane Guy's will names her daughter Mary wife of Henry Curtis, and she must be from Jane's first marriage since their first child is born 1642. The article says it is undoubtedly an error that her name was listed as Mary Guy instead of Mary Tainter.[2]
