Identity

Manwaring places the probate of Mary Grihms' immediately following that of Henry Grihms. The names and relative ages of her children corresponds to the 1684 list of children of Henry. In Mary's will she presumably places her youngest children in the custody of family members: "Brother Benj," "brother Joseph," and "John Watson, her fourth daughter." Is this John Watson a brother-in-law?
