To Mary, the relict ...'

The probate of her husband Thomas establishes that Mary outlived him. Therefore, the death year of 1687 attributed to her in some older records is either incorrect, or he remarried after she died. However, there is no VR to support either a 1687 death or a second marriage for Thomas, nor does Torrey suggest that an early source identifies a second marriage for Thomas.
