Mary Freeman was born probably in Eastham about 1693 based on her age at death, the daughter of John and Sarah (Merrick) Freeman.
[1][2]
Mary was the first wife of Judah Berry/Berrie. Their marriage record is not extant, but they probably married about 1712-13 in Eastham where their first child was born. Judah was probably born about 1690 in Yarmouth, the son of John Berry of Harwich. [1]
She died in Harwich on 18 August 1719, aged about 26 years and was buried in the Old Burial Ground which now is in Brewster, Massachusetts.[1][3]
