Not mentioned in the will of Nicholas Potter of Salem, dated 10 Oct 1677.
↑ Not listed in emigration record (see parents' page), so born after emigrating to Salem. First child born 1659, so probably born bef 1641, and given births of siblings in 1640 and 1642, birth estimated to be about 1638.
↑ Several sources (e.g., Source:Newhall, Charles Lyman. Record of My Ancestry, p. 51; Source:Cooke, Harriet Ruth Waters. Driver Family, p. 54) suggest Mary married Joseph Boice/Boyce of Salem, citing Source:Essex Institute Historical Collections (Essex Institute Press), p. 16:248, "The Gedney and Clarke Families of Salem, Mass." by Henry F. Waters (p. 10 in the reprint). However, this is a misreading of the cited source. When it says "His widow afterwards became the wife of Joseph Boice, jr., of Salem" it is talking about Rebecca (Trask) Potter, the widow of Nicholas' son Samuel, not Mary.
