His first wife Mary died following the birth of their daughter, also Mary who was buried 22.2.1620^[3]

In subsequent legal documents his wife Mary is referred to as if alive, so a second marriage to another Mary in around 1620 is probable though the marriage record remains elusive. The first daughter of the new marriage is also called Mary and is referred to as the eldest daughter in a number of documents. See Mary (Nevell) Morley
