• Notes

  1. Other birthdates given are 04 JUL 1650 & 02 JAN 1653. 2. Torrey's lists:b.Jan 4, 1653, m.Jan 4, 1673 & died 1711. [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #1036, Date of Import: Aug 25, 1997] SOURCES: Wilder, pp., 146; b/c. [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #4588, Date of Import: Aug 24, 1997] Mary Sawyer, daughter of Thomas Sawyer and Mary Prescott. Her mother was possibly Mary Rice, born September 4, 1656 Sudbury, MA., died August 1733 Lancaster, MA. Daughter of Thomas Rice of Marlboro, MA., and Mary King. If this is so, this would have been Mary Rice's second marriage, her first would have been to Josiah White, baptized June 4, 1643 in Wenham, MA., died November 11, 1714 Lancaster, MA. Married Mary Rice November 28, 1678. This would also make Mary Sawyer a sister of Sarah White, wife of John Wilder.
