Identity of Nathaniel Barker's Wife

Helliwell makes a convincing argument that Mary, dau. of George Kilbourne, married Nathaniel Barker of Rowley.S1 Regrettably, proof of this is not sufficient to make it conclusive. However, Helliwell clearly establishes that Mary Kilbourne did not marry Nathaniel Chapman as many secondary sources conclude.
