Biography
Jeffrey Esty was married to Margaret Pote (or Pett?) at Freston, Suffolk, England, on 29 May 1606.[1][2]
She apparently died before 4 January 1657, when Jeffrey Este made his will and did not mention a wife.

Mary Towne Estey is married to Isaac Estey (b. 1628 - d.1711). Here is some info that most people do not have. Isaac's mother is Mary Salmon. Not Margaret Pote or Pet.
MARY SALMON BIRTH 15 NOV 1594 • Rattlesden, Suffolk, England DEATH 1651 • Massachusetts, USA
Derek C N Salmon, a book publisher, published A Salmon Family - Five Hundred Years from Suffolk to Sevenoaks in 2007, re-published in 2012, with a revised edition in 2013. Charles Farrow researched and discovered this. Mr. Farrow has been a hired genealogist for the Towne Family Association. The book was only available with pre-paid orders and that time has past. It was discovered Margaret Pet was married to Jeffrey Eastie, son of Edward, older brother to Christopher. So, the two Jeffrey's in question were cousins.

FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/D21C-RN1 feels strongly that Margaret Pott married a different Jeffrey Estey (his cousin) and that this Jeffrey Estey married Mary Salmon at Old Newton in 1624. Other folks apparently say same Jeffrey, first wife/second wife.
