    "Widow Mary Hall, is first mentioned by William Wilcox of Cambridge, in his will made 1653; in which he bequeaths to her 20 shillings, and to her son William and daughter Susan 10 shillings each. She was a member in full communion of the church of Cambridge when William Wilcox made his will, as he calls her 'Sister Widow Hall[']. And Rev. Mr. Mitchell in his new roll of members after the church records were burned in 1658, makes mention of Widow Mary Hall, as a member in full communion, and adds that her children being of adult years when she was admitted, were not baptized, of whom two, John and Susanna have since been admitted to the church of Concord. In 1662 Widow Mary Hall received a grant of land from the town of Cambridge. Her son William having died in 1667, she petitioned the court to order a division of his property for her benefit. It appears from the papers found in the probate office at Cambridge, that she had assigned her property to her son William in consideration of her support during her life, and that she lived with him in Concord at the time of his death. The paper was found on an upper shelf, filed with several others 'No. 11-1688, 10-5, petition of Mary Hall of Concord, mother of William, deceased.' The 1688 might have been intended for 1668."

    She may have been somehow related to William Wilcox, or she may have been a "sister" in the church. William Wilcox may have been as much as a full generation younger than widow Mary Hall.
