    Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

    • Name Mary Parkhurst  [1, 2
      Gender Female 
      Died 28 Mar 1687 
      Notes 
      • From "Some Ancestors and Descendants of Samuel Converse, Jr." page 9-10: He [Samuel Convers] married, 8 June 1660, Judith Carter, daughter of Rev. Thomas and Mary (Parkhurst) Carter. ... It was probably in Watertown [MA] that he married Mary Parkhurst, who died 28 March 1687. She was the daughter of George Parkhurst, Senior, of [page 10] Watertown, but was long supposed to have been born a Dalton. The late William H. Whitmore, however, in new England Historical Genealogical Register, Vol. 37, p. 364, printed a deed of Ruth wife of Rev. Timothy Dalton, of Hampton, dated 22 March 1663-4, and also her will dated 8 December 1665. Mr. John L. Blake of Orange, J. J., in a most carefully prepared monograph entitle the English Home of Timothy Dalton, makes clear the exact relationship in which the Daltons and Carters stood. Mr. Whitmore assumed that Ruth Dalton was the sister (or possibly the sister-in-law) of George Parkhurst, Sr., of Watertown, Mass. In that case, Deborah Smith, Elizabeth Merry, Phebe Arnold, Joseph Parkhurst, George Parkhurst, and Mary Carter, who are known to have been his children, were respectively the nephews and nieces of Mrs. Dalton. These were all beneficiaries under the deed aforesaid. In Sewall's History of Woburn, page 161, the wife of Rev. Thomas Carter is described as "Mrs. Mary (Dalton) Carter." Her son-in-law, John Wyman, Jr., "reseved" a part of the "legeisie weh whas given to my mother-in-law Merri Carter by Mrs. Ruth Dalton of Hampton deiseised."
