  [[Category:MtDNA Haplogroup_V]][[Category:Founders Burial Ground, Nantucket, Massachusetts]] {{Puritan Great Migration}} == Biography == === Disputed origins ===Her parents are unknown. Some sources spell her maiden surname "Morrell", although it is Morrill on her headstone (cenotaph). Findagrave Mary's parents were shown here at one time as Abraham Morrill (Morrill-485) and Abigail Powell (Powell-5782). These parents are impossible, as both were born after Mary. For these reasons, they have been removed as her parents. Please do not add parents to Mary without discussing it first on G2G. Another set of alleged parents: [[Morrill-153|Richard Morrill]] and [[Childe-13|Joan Childe]] === Birth ===Most sources simply state "England" and estimate dates between 1617 and 1623. Her cenotaph says "1620 Norfolk England". Findagrave Some trees at IGI suggest that Mary was born at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fowey Fowey, Cornwall],The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "International Genealogical Index (IGI)." FamilySearch. http://FamilySearch.org:2020 although no source/s for this are provided. === Migration from England ===According to Benjamin Hard Gardner (''The Genealogy of the Gardner Family''; 1953), Mary was an indentured servant employed by a Mrs. Peters (wife of the Rev. Hugh Peters), and arrived on the same ship as Peter Folger (ship ''Abigail'', arrived MA in 1635). Other possible departures/arrivals:: 1635, Ship ''Defence'', arr. Salem, Massachusetts{{citation needed}} Her name is not found on the manifest, but as an indenturee, it is possible that she wouldn't be mentioned.: 1638 dep.

Most sources say they were married 1644, in Nantucket.[[#VRNM|Vital Records of Nantucket]]: Vol. 4, Page 215 Others estimate dates as early as 1640 although some claim "23 June" in either 1642 or 1623, at Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard.
