Biography

Mary was born to Robert and Susannah (Winslow) Latham in Bridgewater Massachusetts about 1653.^[1]

Mary married _____ Pollard. Mary Pollard was named in the 1676 will of Mary (Chilton) Winslow, who named, among others, three grandchildren: (in order) Mercy Harris, Mary Pollard and Susanna Latham.^[2][1] This is the only known record for this child, who is believed because of placement between Mercy Harris and Susanna Latham, to also be a daughter of Robert and Susannah (Winslow) Latham.^[1]

Her husband was possibly Samuel Pollard (24 Jan 1645 - 29 May 1678), son of William and Anne Pollard. "However, the situation is complicated by two stubborn records: Buried in the Granary Burial Ground is 'Mary Pollard late wife to Samuel Pollard died 30 Sept. 1706 ae 56y 6m' [an age which fails to jibe]; and the will of Joseph Taynter of Watertown dated 18 Feb 1689/90 names a daughter Mary Pollard not otherwise placed and of unrecorded birth."^[1]

• Mary may have died as wife of Samuel Pollard on 30 Sep 1706.
  • or
• Mary (Latham) Pollard, w/o _____ Pollard, may have died at some undetermined time. Mary Tayntor, d/o Joseph, having married Samuel Pollard.

Research Note

I have seen where Mary has been referred to as a twin. Mary's maternal grandparents were Mayflower passengers.
