"… Looking through the Marden registers, there is only one candidate, and indeed, this candidate is the correct identification for Mary, first wife of Simon Willard. She is not Mary Sharpe, but Mary Sharpee [Sharppy], with her baptism found in the parish registers of Marden, Kent: Mary, d. Samuell Sharppy 17th April [1609]"
"Mary1 Sharpee, bp. Marden 17 April 1609; m. there 13 Oct. 1628 Simon Willard. She immigrated to Massachusetts with her husband in 1634 or followed him shortly thereafter. She had certainly arrived by 1639 when she became pregnant with her son Samuel. No record of her death has been found."
