Uncertain Parents

It has often been supposed, without clear evidence, that Mary, wife of Stephen Peckham, was the daughter of Thomas Pope and Sarah Jenney, who were living in Dartmouth in the 1680s.[1]

If she was indeed the daughter of Thomas Pope, then Mary's granddaughter Jane Delano would have been the second cousin once removed of her husband Prince Tobey. That is to say, just barely within the limits of consanguinity in Puritan New England.

I found this recently which may shed more light on the idea that Mary was a Pope by birth. Her husband Stephen bought part of his land from Seth Pope, one of the sons of Thomas Pope: Stephen lived in Dartmouth, Bristol County, MA and was one of the original proprietors of East Greenwich in 1677. Jan., 1679, he had a grant of land in the Narragansett, but probably never went there. December 9, 1679, he bought of Captain Seth Pope a one-quarter share right in Dartmouth, MA. The original proprietors of this territory lived in Plymouth. It comprised New Bedford, Fairhaven, Westport and the present town of Darmouth. ABSTRACT OF WILL OF STEPHEN PECKHEM
