    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found. Mary is identified in the distribution of John Derby's estate at Monks Hill in the bounds of Yarmouth, about 1682/3, when, as "widow Nicarson," she received two thirds of the property. The widow Nicarson is clearly Mary, widow of Nicholas Nicarson (Nickerson), who was appointed to adm the estate of her late husband, Oct 1682, in the probate entry immediately preceding the land division of John Derby (Plymouth Colony Probate, 4:2:32 [FHL #567794]). Date and place of Mary's birth are approximations. John Derby was in Plymouth in 1637 and was in Yarmouth by 1643 when he appeared on a list of men, aged 16-60, able to bear arms (Nathaniel B. Shurtleff and David Pulsifer, eds, RECORDS OF THE COLONY OF NEW PLYMOUTH, 12 vols. [Boston, 1855-61], 8:194 [FHL #974.4 N2n]). Mary was probably born in Yarmouth.
      MAR: No mar rec found. See discussion, above.
      DEATH: Robert M. Sherman and Ruth Wilder Sherman, comps, VITAL RECORDS OF YARMOUTH, 2 vols. (Warwick, RI, 1975), 1:131 (FHL #974.492/Y1 V2s). Called "widow Nickerson." Also see the adm of estate of Mary Nickerson of Yarmouth, 16 Apr 1706, inv 4 Apr 1706, agreement of heirs 14 May 1706, Barnstable Co. Probate, 2:14,226; 3:14 (FHL #904598).
