MARRIAGE: By about 1631 Ellen _____ (assuming that she was mother of John). "Ellen Massy" was admitted to Salem church 26 November 1648 [SChR 13], but no earlier record gives her name, so she may not have been mother of John. She died in late 1679 or early 1680, since her son charged the estate for expenses "laid out for my mother after my father's decease for the space of three years & upwards," and also for funeral expenses [EPR 3:150].
