note
Mollie's own date for Mary ("born before or shortly after 1636") is impossible for a bride of 1641, and in 1643 his wife left "a company of small children" (Winthrop 2:94).

Wife of Joseph Wise of Roxbury. Through her mother, Alice Freeman, she belongs to a genuine gentry family, the one Mollie did not know about. She came to Roxbury as a girl with her mother, by 1640. Her uncle, Thomas Freeman of Cranford, gent., left a will in 1637 that names "sister Tompson" and her children, including Mary and Bridget; her sister Bridget married George Denison at Roxbury in March 1640 (Roxbury VR 2:398).

The Roxbury church admissions of about 1647-49 list "Mary Wise the wife of Joseph Wise" (Roxbury church records). Twelve children were baptized at Roxbury between 1643 and 1666, among them Rev. John Wise (1652); two sons named Benjamin died as infants, in 1660 and 1664 (Roxbury VR 1:389, as listed on WikiTree Wise-52). She outlived Joseph by nine years, and was granted administration of his estate with their son John in September 1684 (Anderson, TAG 56:80-82, as cited on WikiTree).

Mollie (pp. 96-100) makes her a daughter of Rev. William Tompson of Braintree. Winthrop says Rev. William's wife left "a company of small children" in 1643 (Winthrop 2:94), so he could not have had a daughter marrying in 1641.
