Biography
Mary (or Mercy) Hovey, the daughter of Thomas Hovey and Martha Balch, was baptized March 21, 1719. She married David Wood of Lunenburg February 19, 1745/6. They had 6 children: Mary, Martha, Bette, Sarah, David, and Zephaniah.[1]
Mary's profile originally had a 1751 death date, but her last child was born in 1760, so her death date has been changed to 'after 1760'. Her 1801 death date is also unsourced.

Hovey-2925 and Hovey-40 appear to represent the same person because: I don't know why the duplicate didn't pick up when I created the profile. Sorry to create extra work by merging. Thank you.

No problem! Do you have a source for her 1801 death date? I wasn't able to find anything definitive.
