Reasearch Notes

Consideration might be given to this Mary George who wed John Edmonds was not the daughter of Richard and Mary Pell George. Some researchers believe she may have been a widow. "The Great Migration" adds a comment that Mary Lovering Holman thought that Mary was the sister of the second wife of Joshua Blanchard who John Edmonds called brother-in-law. Joshua Blanchard's 1st wife (not connected on Wikitree) was Elizabeth ______________. His 2nd was Mehitable Edmands. That would make John wedding his sister Mary Edmands George? That's doubtful. The fact that John/Joshua were brothers-in-law is solid via Mehitable Edmands. Speculation: maybe they were in-laws from a different direction. Perhaps Joshua's older sister Mary Blanchard, b. 1659, was John Edmonds' 2nd wife. Her first husband, _____________George, is unknown. With no attribution, FindaGrave, for Samuel Blanchard has daughter Mary, b.18 Apr. 1659, d. 1704. Of course, there is the Watertown, MA marriage for Mary George/Nathaniel Pitman in 1695, which lines up w/ the Thwing Collection analysis. March 3, 2021.
