Mary married in 1716 [not 1714] on 12 Mar. to Stephen Reed of Bridgewater where they lived. They were ancestors of mine. I checked in the original and it is 1716 per the order of the other marriages performed. The actual numbers are difficult to decipher on the line with their marriage, but all others above and below were recorded in 1716. She was just married in time for her to be listed as "Mary Reed" in the will of her father written in July of 1716. Somewhere I found that Mary was b. c. 1696. She was likely born between Ruth and Thomas, which was between 1693 to 1701. Two of Mary's siblings also married in Bridgewater: Mercy and Richard, who both married Fords. Ruth also married a Ford, but her marriage was in Abington. The father, Ebenezer, owned vacant land in Bridgwater, which was directed to be divided amongst his three sons. I don't think they ever lived there.
