  1. 1.  Brown, Mary was born in 1636/1637 in Newbury,Essex,MA (daughter of Zealy, Mary); died on 15 Apr 1716 in Newbury,Essex,MA.

    Notes:

    BIRTH: No birth rec found. Thomas Brown confirmed a deed of gift "unto Peter Godfry in mariage with my daughter when they first married," 11 Apr 1677 (Ipswich, MA Deeds, 4:91 [FHL #873019]). Since Peter Godfrey married Mary Brown, it is clear that Mary is the dau of Thomas Brown. Mary's year and place of birth are suggested by her Newbury death rec, below, which identifies her as "the first English childe borne in this Towne," dying in her 80th yr. Also see the deposition of Mary Godfrey, 9 Sep 1675, aged about 39 yrs (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 6:71 [FHL #974.45 P2e]).
    MAR: VITAL RECORDS OF NEWBURY, 2 vols. (Salem, MA, 1911), 2:70,194 (FHL #974.45/N1 V28v).
    DEATH: Ibid, 2:598.

    DEATH: VITAL RECORDS OF NEWBURY, 2 vols. (Salem, MA, 1911), 2:556 (FHL #974.45/N1 V28v).
    NOTE: Mary's surname is difficult to interpret on mar rec. Robert Anderson interprets the name as "Healy" in THE GREAT MIGRATION: IMMIGRANTS TO NEW ENGLAND, 1634-1635, vol. 1, A-B (Boston, 1999), 437. However, a search of other BTs found another instance of the name as Zealy, which is perhaps a variant of Seely, Selly, etc.
