3. MARY2 SCRIPTURE (Samuel1) was born at Groton, Massachusetts, on 7 February 1680/1, and died at Pepperell, Massachusetts, on 21 or 29 June 1761. She married Eleazer LAWRENCE, son of Peleg Lawrence and Elizabeth (Morse) Lawrence. According to Bond [1860: 823–824], “Major ELEAZER LAWRENCE, first of Groton, where his chil. were b.; afterwards of Littleton, and in the settlement of his estate, Dec. 19, 1754, said to be of Pepperill. He m. MARY _____. He d. March 9, 1754, aged 80, and his wid. d. June 29, 1761, aged 82. His Will, dated Dec. 29, 1749, mentions wife Mary; sons, Peleg, Jonathan, David, Eleazer, and Samuel; heirs of dr. Elizabeth But-[p. 824]trick; drs. Mary Fletcher, Sarah Cummings, Experience Keep, and Prudence Parker. Among his heirs were Benjamin and Sarah Davis, Isaac and Mary Russell, probably heirs of dr. Elizabeth. May 24, 1721, he gave bond as guardian of Ephraim Whitcomb.”

The identification of Eleazer Lawrence’s wife Mary as Mary Scripture is based on GENDEX sources and is not otherwise documented.
