BIRTH Mary was born circa 1580.
DEATH Mary died in Dorchester, Suffolk co., MA sometime after 9 October 1666; she was 86[16,17,18]. We know that Mary was still living in 1666, when Samuel Maverick (her oldest child) wrote a letter from Rhode Island on 9 October 1666 to Secretary Sir William Morice saying that his mother (presents her humble service"[19]. Given that Samuel, by his own deposition[20], was aged about 63 years in 1665, she would have been in her eighties[21]. Mary probably lived with her son Samuel after John's death.
FOSTERAGE Mary, being the youngest of Robert Gye's twelve children, was given over to the Reverend Radford Maverick to raise after her mother's Grace's untimely death in 1604. Radford arranged for her marriage to his nephew Reverend John Maverick when she was 20[22].
MARRIAGE On 28 October 1600 when Mary was 20, she married Reverend John MAVERICK, son of Reverend Peter MAVERICK & Dorothy TUCKE, in Alsington [now Islington], Devonshire, England[14,15,17,18,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34] by the Reverend Radford Maverick, vicar of Ilsington, Devonshire, England. Mary, John and five of their children (Elias, Mary, Moses, Abigail, Antipas and John, Jr.) emigrated to New England on the Mary & John in 1630, leaving Plymouth, Devonshire, England on 20 March 1630 and arriving in Nantasket, Plymouth co., MA on 3 May 1630[35,55,56].
