Mary (Barker) Pratt Coombs Wood had the following children by her three husbands:
Sarah Pratt (ca 1668-14 Mar 1702) m William Thomas
Samuel Pratt (ca 1672-ca Jul 1745) m Hannah Miller
Lydia Coombs (8 May 1679-6 Mar 1734/5) m John Miller
Ruth Coombs (12 Mar 1681-) m Ebenezer Bennett
Frances Coombs (6 Jan 1682-aft 1762) m Nathan Howland
John, born March 19, 1686 m Sarah Barden
David, born March 29, 1688; d 29 Jul 1738; married 29 Dec 1720 Joanna Tilson
Jabez, born July 1, 1691; married Hannah Nelson
She is identified in a late nineteenth century manuscript by James E. Wood as being buried at the "Wood Family Burial Ground at Middleborough on the corner of Wood and Grove Streets."
The cemetery is described by Thomas Weston as the Wood Cemetery in his book, "History of the Town of Middleboro, Massachusetts, Volume 1" (1906), page 636:
"The Wood Cemetery, known as the Thomas Wood Cemetery, was a family burial ground at the corner of Grove and Wood streets. It has been in disuse for almost a hundred years, and trees and bushes have now so grown over the entire lot that it is difficult to distinguish it in passing by. The oldest interment here was that of Abner, son of Joshua and Hannah Waterman, who died July 18, 1796, in his twenty-second year."
It should be noted "the oldest interment here" refers to the earliest remaining marked grave at the particular time when the inscriptions on the remaining tombstones were transcribed.
The Wood Cemetery is mentioned in Charles M. Thatcher's book "Old Cemeteries of Southeastern Massachusetts: A Compilation of Records by Charles M Thatcher in the Late 1880s" as "Cemetery in the bushes at corner of Wood and Grove Streets". He recorded nine graves and mentioned there were "also 15 or more other graves."
