Mary is first known through a marriage record — no information about her birth or parents is known. We guess a round birth year of 1690 because it makes her aged 22 at marriage.

Categories: Village Cemetery, Rehoboth, Massachusetts | Estimated Birth Date
I detached Shaw-463 from the wrong James Wheaton, so they are ready to be merged. They are clearly duplicates -- the FindAGrave link from Shaw-463 shows she is the same woman as Shaw-17089. It remains to choose a birth year. Both are unsourced, and FindAGrave has 5 May 1691. But that Mary, born at Weymouth to John and Hannah Shaw, was called Mary Lovell in her father's will dated 1718. It seems this Mary just has no identified birth record yet, so a guess should be made. 1690 is a nice round number that has her aged 22 when she married.
