  4. Assuming that Mary was the second born child of her parents, she would have been born after 1652, when her sister was most likely born, and before 1656, when her father is presumed to be living elsewhere. Her most likely date of birth, then is 1653 or 1654, which would make her nineteen or twenty at the time of her marriage.
