Facts and Events
Name Mary Odiorne
Gender Female
Birth? 1756 New Hampshire, United StatesTenuous, an IGI link without documentation.
Marriage Bet 1778 and 1782 Not in Groton city recordsDate is highly tentative. Mary's sister Mehitable was living in Groton, MA these years (wife of James Sullivan). Natural to suspect that it was in this period that Mary and Amos were married. In Odiorne genealogy.
to Amos Ames
Other? 1788 Groton, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United StatesAmos fathers child by D. Lawrence
Death? 1792 Groton, Grafton, New Hampshire, USAI think it far more likely that its Groton, MA not NH as Amos was from Groton, MA

Note: "Died Mrs. Sally Dyer, aged 27, wife of Mr. Joshua Dyer".(Portland Gazette) buried in the cemetery behind the Hanna House in E Sullivan.

Note that Mary supposedly had d. Mary in 1790 according to Odiorne genealogy. I have recently found other data suggesting that she died in 1787. See my page on Ancestry, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/25763682/person/12450643589 I think it unlikely from various circumstantial evidence that she is the mother of Joseph Ames.


The following shows that a sister of Mary Odiorne married a well known man who lived in Groton MA 1778-1782. It suggests that Mary may have lived with Mehitable and James (?) and met Amos Ames somewhere in the process. Pure speculation, but its not a coincidence that we have a Groton, MA-Odiorne link here.

Another note. In Groton, MA records, an Odiorne (Mehitable/Hetty) married James Sullivan (1 Apr 1781). And this from the Groton Hist. Series

Hon. Richard Sullivan died in Cambridge, 11 December, 1861, aged 82 years. He was the third son of Hon. James and Mehitable (Odiorne) Sullivan, and was born in Groton, Mass., 17 July, 1779. His father was born in Berwick, Me., 22 April, 1744. He was a lawyer by profession, and began practice in Georgetown, Me. ; but soon afterwards removed to Biddeford, Me. In February, 1778, he removed to Groton, Mass. ; and, in 1782, he removed from Groton to Boston. He was a judge of the Supreme Court, and attorney-general of Massachusetts. In 1807, he was chosen governor of the state; was re-elected in 1808, and died while in ofBce, 10 December, 1808. Mr. Sullivan's mother was the daughter of William Odiorne, a ship-builder, of Durham, N. H., where she was born 26 June, 1748; and died in Boston, 26 Jan- uary, 1786.
