    Eliezer Bigelow, of Watertown, m., Nov. 24, 1724, Mary Fiske, probably a daughter of William and Hannah (Smith) Fiske, of Wat. [J. Fiske, 11).] [This marriage is recorded in the Weston town records, with this difference, that it is there " Mary Smith." Perhaps she resided with, or was adopted by some of her mother's relations in Weston, and was there known as a Smith. She was admitted, 1723-4, from the Watertown to the Weston church, as "Mary Fiske, alias Smith."]

  3.   No evidence has been found to justify Bond's speculative identification of Mary's parents. William's will names only sons despite the fact that Mary was still alive. No deed has been located showing any previous transfer from William Fiske to his alleged daughter and son-in-law (though, unfortunately, Eleazer's deeds selling land do not bother to inform us how he obtained the land). Given the confusion over her name, it seems possible this identification of her parents might no be correct. They did not use the name William or Hannah for any of their children.
