By 1639 she married Robert Stevens. It is possible Mary (Unknown) had a previous marriage to a man with the surname of "Hatch," since her husband willed 5 shillings to "his daughter" Mary Hatch." Mary Hatch could have been a step-daughter since previous in his will he bequeathed his full inheritance to his only daughter, Sarah Cleaverly.

Children of Robert and Mary:
  1. unnamed child was born by February 24, 1639/40 (Robert required land for three people on that date.) no additional records for this child.
  2. Sarah was born at Braintree on May 31, 1641. She married John Cleverly at Braintree on March 18, 1664/5.

The couple moved to Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts by 1640.

Her husband, Robert Stevens, died between the time he wrote his will on July 1, 1682 and the time of the inventory of his estate on December of 1682. The inventory totaled L97 10s., 6d. of which L71 was real estate. Mary, his widow, was the executrix of his estate and everything was willed to her during her natural life. Following his wife's death the his daughter Sarah Cleaverly received the inheritance; with her husband as the overseer.

UNKNOWN-4373 and Anderson-72768 do not represent the same person because: These appear to be two different people. There are no sources that this Robert Stevens married in England and had a son named Edward there
