Mary is often conflated with Charles Church, who married EUNICE Peckham (not Mary). Part of the confusion is that Eunice and Mary were born around the same time. The error was published in Records of William Spooner, of Plymouth, Mass. by Thomas Spooner (vol. 1 page 213 footnote). He states that Charles Church's wife was "Mary" Peckham.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:
Peckham-1237 and Peckham-537 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same person, same family, spouse, etc. Her husband's profile is also pending a merge
Peckham-1237 and Peckham-537 do not represent the same person because: The ages, parents and children are completely different. The Lydia Peckham wife of Job Caswell is NOT the same as Lydia Peckham daughter of Joseph & Penelope Peckham. Rejected.
