    'HOPESTILL TYLER ... married in Mendon, January 20, 1668, Mary Lovett, born in Mendon, March 7, 1652-53; said to have died in 1732; daughter of Daniel Lovett, of Braintree and Mendon.'

    See this source for information on her trial for witchcraft, of which she was pressured to confess, but ultimately acquitted.

    'Mary Lovitt, the daughter of Daniel Lovitt and Johanna his wiffe was borne the 1 mo. 7th, 1651.'

    With two exceptions, the records for the earliest years (1643-1655) are written as day, month, year (e.g., '(16) (5th) 1646'), or are ambiguous (e.g, '5, mo. 7'). Although it would seem natural to associate 'mo.' with the first number in a format such as '5th mo. 8th', there is at least one record (on page 635) in which it is clearly associated with the second number: '(15)th. mo. (8th.) 1653'. Therefore, I have chosen to interpret all the early ambiguous dates as day, month, year, even though Savage did not always do so.

    'TYLER, TILER, ...
    Mary, d. Mar. 3, 1732'

  5. ↑ The alternate birth date is based on reading the Vital Record as the 1st month, 7th day, and assuming that the year is 1651/52, as Savage did. See note on the Vital Record citation indicating why the correct interpretation may be 1st day, 7th month.

    Note also that Mary was only 17 when she married (if born Sep 1651), and would have been not quite 17 if she was born Mar 1651/52.
