Biography

Mary was born in 1675. ^[1]

Mary passed away in 1758.

Mary Ellery (also written Elery), the daughter of William and Mary Ellery, was born in Gloucester on 24 December 1676.^[2]

Her parents, William Elery and Mary Coyt married June 13, 1676 in Gloucester.^[3]

Babson's history tells us Mary (Stevens) Ingersol, born in 1694 was daughter of Mary (Ellery) Stevens, born ~1677, whose mother was the second-born of John Coit and Mary Stevens born in 1655. The footnote which summarized this family states^[4]:

"Daniel Ellery, son of Nathaniel, born in 1732, intended marriage with Mary Matchett, Dec. 20, 1754; and had a daughter Mary, baptized Jan. 11, 1756. This infant, I suppose, was the subject of the following notice in a Boston newspaper of Feb. 2, 1756: " Gloucester, Jan. 6, 1756.— This day, a child was born that has ten grand fathers and grandmothers, all living; and this child makes the fifth generation ; and the firstborn of every one of the generations was a daughter; and every one of the children's name was Mary; and they are all of there now living." These Marys must have been, first, Mary the Infant, whose mother was Mary (Matchett) Ellery, born in 1734,the second; whose mother was Mary (Ingersol) Matchett, born in 1713, the third; whose mother was Mary (Stevens) Ingersol, born in 1694, the fourth; whose mother was Mary (Ellery) Stevens, born in 1677, the fifth. The mother of the last was also a Mary, the second-born of John Coit and Mary Stevens : she was born in 1655."
