Mary was born about 1666. Mary Potter was the daughter of Nathaniel Potter and Elizabeth Stokes.[1]
Mary married Samuel Wilbore they lived on what was recently the Oliver H. Wilbor place, on the west road and in the southwestern part of the town. Part of this land he received from his father. His wife, Mary Potter, came from what is now Central Village; her father's farm is a little west of Central Village up a lane to the south of the Main Road from Central Village to Adamsville. On this land is a large Brownell cemetery. Samuel Wilbore settled in Little Compton much earlier than 1700. It was he who laid out the old Wilbor cemetery in 1740 on his farm and it has been used for many generations by his descendants. (West Road is in Little Compton, Rhode Island; Central Village is located within Westport, Bristol County, Massachusetts; Adamsville is a village located within Little Compton, Rhode Island)[2]
Mary passed away before 1729.[3]
