    It is not clear from these records whether or not Mary was born in Exeter. It is possible that her father was living in Exeter prior to 1660/61, but was not granted a certain status (maybe did not have his own land) until 1660/61 and no Family Register was started for his family until then. In this case, the record for Mary could be an actual registry of her birth in Exeter in 1655. The other possibility is that the family moved to Exeter in 1660/61 and provided the birth date of their daughter Mary who had been born elsewhere - this appears to have been a not uncommon practice in early New England, although if this were the case, it is expected that her birth would be recorded together with those of her siblings in the Family Register.
