Mary (Barnard ??) King Cutler. Maiden name?

Question

Anderson and Torrey both call her Mary Unknown. Before we change this, has anyone got a case for maiden name Bernard?

She has also developed parents and a birth date (see her profile) : Maybe this is helpful

This site attaches Mary to a well-known Gateway family - Virginia, not New England.

Geni says Thomas King embarked at Ipswich with John Barnard's family.

This is John Barnard

and we too have him attached to the Gateway family.  John's "brother" William and William's cousin Richard (and his wife) are the listed Gateway immigrants.

Which implies that her alleged father

is actually the same person as

But he isn't credited with a daughter Mary.  No idea where the DoB comes from.

Well that explains why someone wants her name to be a Bernard. And I'll know what to do with her alleged father. Thanks RJ

Anne and RJ - thank you both for your diligence and work.

I added Anderson, both Directory and GM, to James Cutler, and added GM to Mary Unknown.

Leaving the hard work for you Anne -- he's not an ancestor of mine, but am always shocked when I find a PGM profile still lacking the GM source. So I threw them in as my contribution to PGM for the day, a drop of help in the ocean of need.

Thanks April, your drops are always appreciated in the PGM bucket.
