There is considerable variation in the dates various sources give for Mary.

    NEHGR 134:302 says she was christened 30 June 1633 in England.  The Heverly genealogy claims she was born about 1635, possibly in Maryland or Virginia.  Millett places her birth in 1640.  All agree she was the daughter of Sylvester Evelith.
    Her death is given as 2 July 1687/1688 by Babson, 12 July 1686/1687 by Millett, and 7 January 1687/1688 by NEHGR 134:302. Torrey says 1687.
