MARRIAGE #2

On 6 January 1662/3 when John was 41, he second married Mary BILL, in Reading, Middlesex co., MA or Boston, Suffolk co., MA^{^{[2,9, 16,15, 22,23,24,25]}}. Mary was born circa 1645 and died in Chelsea, MA on 6 February 1693/4; she was 48^{^[14]}. She is also buried in North Chelsea (now Revere), Suffolk co., MA^{^[4]}. Note that on her marriage record, she is called "Martha" and is said to be "from Boston". The family genealogy claims that she came over on the Planter in 1635 at 11 years of age^{^[2]}. This is obviously impossible since she wasn't even born until 1645.
