Mary was born in 1670. She is the daughter of Samuel Eells and Anna Lenthal.
It is a tradition in the Eells family that she married a man by the name Fox. On page 55 of volume 3, Milford, Conn., Land Records is entered a deed, dated March 2, 16S7, and acknowledged June 6, 1690, from Samuel Eells, Senior, to Samuel Nettleton, conveying six acres of land in Milford. The witnesses to this deed were John Eells and Mary Fox. This latter signature harmonizes with the tradition, and is the only trace as yet discovered, of her after her baptism.[1]
