[Note: died 20 Nov 1659, but Mary named as executrix, and will not proved until 27 Mar 1660, so probably after that date and certainly before 27 Mary 1662 when text says she executed a deed as Mary Miller with consent of husband John Miller, "who may have been the Rev. John Miller" (emphasis added). Note: no paper in Cutting's probate file (essex 6984) shows any explicit involvement of Mary however, i.e., the file appears to be missing any bond as executrix, any notice of swearing to the truth of the inventory, or any account by executrix, which likely would be done as Mary Cutting and help narrow date of remarriage.]

[See also p. 84-5: "before May, 1662, the widow Mary Cutting married John Miller, who, although not positively identified, would seem to have been Rev. John Miller...". Note: Per text she wrote her will as Mary Miller, widow, dated 26 Nov 1663, which given the death of Rev. John Miller on 12 Jun 1663 probably explains the "would seem to have been".]
