Unknown Origins
While some say she was a Sibley (which appears to come from a 1928, unsourced genealogy), there is no documentation for her maiden name. Nor is there any documented proof of the first name of her Shattuck husband.
The Sibley parents she's been linked to (without proof) include:
Also sometimes said to be daughter of Henry Siblie: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:1:MCCQ-4HQ
Because there is no proof of her ancestry, she is shown here without parents.
Biography
"Nothing was found by Lemuel Shattuck to show a proved connection between the main family of his Memorials and the Salem family, nor was he able to state the name of the male progenitor of the Salem family, and it is probably that he never came to America and that his widow Damaris crossed the Atlantic with her children. The name Shattuck has been found in the marriage register of the church at Dorchester, Dorset, and the Pope family probably also came from that county.
- NOTE: Her second husband, Thomas Gardiner, was from Sherborne, Dorset.
She was widow Shattuck in 1641 when she joined the Salem church.[1][2]
Shortly later, Damaris married Captain Thomas Gardner as his second wife.
Damaris is mentioned in the 1668 will of her 2nd husband (Thomas Gardner), but she predeceased him.
Damaris Gardner died at Salem on 28 Nov 1674.[2]
- "Damaris, w. Thomas, 28 :9 m: 1674 CT.R."[3]
Her husband died in 1677.
Children
The following is a tentative list, order unknown, of the Shattuck children of Damaris the elder:"[4]
- Samuel, feltmaker or hatter, joined First Church, Salem, 16 May 1642; d at Salem 6 Jun 1689
- Damaris, m. at Boston 30 Sept. 1653, Isaac Page
- Mary, m. ___ Hams (?)
- ?Hannah, perhaps, first wife of George Gardner
- Sarah, m. ca. 1652, Richard Gardner, d. at Nantucket, 1724, age 92
- ?Gertrude, perhaps, m. Joseph Pope before 1642; living 1666
- ?William, shoemaker, of Boston 1650-8
Note that two of her Shattuck daughters married their Gardiner step-brothers.

I am very interested in the Sibley Family, and thanks for posting this family, but Please add your source for this information. It is so important here on Wiki to add sources.
Also Ancestry.com trees are not valid sources, a birth cert marriage license or death records found on Ancestry.com are.
Could your Damaris be the same person as Damaris Sibley My GGGGGGGG??? Grandfather LOL
Again thanks and welcome to Wiki.

Tish--Thanks for making contact! Since you know so much about this line, and I --probably many of us so-called "managers"--only posted/merged info that seemed to be correct, could you offer changes to set the record straight, citing sources? One of the curses hovering over New England genealogy is that so many families stayed so long in one locale that their records are all jumbled...

See what we know about Damaris UNK , her known children including son Samuel (1620-1689) and his family, starting page 361:

The reason they are in the APPENDIX of the book by Lemuel Shattuck is because there is no proof that Damaris is the mother of William of Watertown.
See the sad story of the different William Shattuck, the shoemaker, who went to New Jersey starting on page 366 of the link above.
See headstone of Damaris's son, Samuel (1620-1689) at http://tinyurl.com/SamuellShattockStone1620-1689
In 1678 Samuel Shattuck was Administrator of Estate of Edward Wharton and stated that he was about 58 years old (backing up the death age of 69 in 1689). He's the one who went to see the King.. He is not the witch trial accuser. That was his son.

We have no documentation on her last name's being Sibley. There was a Damaris Sibley born in Salem but that was in 1666.
We don't know her husband's first name.
The Damaris who was the mother of Damaris Shattuck died 28 Nov 1674. She married 2nd Thomas Gardner.
See page 361 for story of Damaris and her son Samuel (1620-1689) and other known children. Her husband's name still unknown after all this time. No records for their marriage found in England; no baptism records for any of the known children found so far. http://tinyurl.com/ShattuckBook
