    "It is inferred that Mary, wife of John Thomson, died before March 1, 1706-7, as in the deed of that date conveying lands to his son Samuel, he reserved to himself the life use of part of the premises but made no mention of his wife."

    She died before 6 October 1696 when her husband remarried. Mr. Starr did not account for the second wife.
