Person talk:Mary Blaisdell (6)

When does Mary Blaisdell married to Gideon Lowell Jr die? [14 June 2009]

In Vital Records of Amesbury, Mary Lowle, w. Gideon, dies 27 Nov 1734 in her 63rd year (per G.R. 1). That would make her born about 1671, which would not be Mary Blaisdell, dau of Jonathan & Hannah. So the Mary Lowell who dies in 1734 must be the wife of Gideon Lowell Sr.

Gideon Lowell Jr. & Mary have children until at least 1742. In typical ancestor fashion, their son Gideon ALSO marries a woman named Mary, apparently, as there is a clump of births in the Vital Records in the 1760s-1770s.

Anyway, Mary Blaisdell Lowell doesn't seem to appear in the Amesbury death records, which seem woefully small compared to Births and Marriages (less than 100 pages). --Kennebec1 10:49, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
