Married:
1st: John Mellowes (eldest son of Oliver Mellowes), d btw 15 Dec 1674-29 Jan 1674/5

Notes:
• Martha may have been born about 1630 as she was deposed 30 Jan 1673/4 aged about 43.
• All children born in Boston between April 1647 and March 1669/70.
• Children not mentioned by name in John Mellowes' will: Elizabeth; Elisha; Joseph; and Mary.
• We were unable to find the meaning of "Old Sextons Bills" in the remarks of MA VRs except to say that others were buried there. Perhaps it was an early name for the current cemetery.
