Winslow-3870 and Winslow-88 are not ready to be merged because: The data of these two profiles match, but the daughter Mary Green, and following generations don't seem to belong. Perhaps these need to be merged after Mary Green is detached or, the data for her mother needs to be corrected.

Thank you both for your commentary, much appreciated.

Her birth year is mentioned in Signers of the Mayflower Compact By Annie Arnoux Haxtun and it is mentioned immediately prior to the transcription of her father's will which may have led to the misstatement in the bio.

The book is missing a section of the will.that mentions son Edward Gray's children by daughter Mary.

I'll have to read closer but I don't see 1630 in the will, and there don't seem to be any inventory or disbursements that might mention an age.

Regarding the first statement in the bio, that Mary & husband Ed. Gray are mentioned in her father's will, I do not find that to be correct. There is a transcript of John Winslow's will here:

"Will of John Winslow," The American Monthly Magazine, ed. Ellen Hardin Walworth, Vol. 4 (Jan 1894):43-45 Or is this refering to some other John Winslow? Also, no mention of her "birthday" found in that will.

She does however qualify for the Mayflower Project. I am going to change same.

Mary (Winslow) Gray is not PGM. She did not migrate. She was born in Plymouth Colony.

Hi Patty. Does Find a Grave cite a source for that birth? We don't typically use FAG as a source unless there's a photo of a contemporaneous grave stone with specific data on it.
posted by Jillaine Smith
Find a Grave lists her birthday as 15 apr 1628

Winslow-1252 and Winslow-88 appear to represent the same person because: sorry for the duplicate they are the same person

Has anyone investigated how Mary (Winslow) Gray can be mother of Anna Gray, Edward Gray, Thomas Gray, Samuel Gray and Sarah Gray since they were all born after 1663, Mary's date of death?
