Katherine Wise
Daughter of Joseph Wise, the Roxbury butcher, and probably of Mary Tompson, baptized at Roxbury in 1658; her brother was Rev. John Wise of Chebacco. In 1680 she married Richard Mather of Dorchester, grandson of Rev. Richard Mather, and they moved to Lyme, where he died in 1688. Probably the mother of Capt. Timothy Mather, ancestor of the Mathers and Marvins of Lyme; through her the Hatten line meets the Low line.

WikiTree's date, citing a Find a Grave memorial that places it at Lyme; the Mather genealogy gives none. It is the day and month of her father's death (12 Sept 1684), which may be a confusion. She was living, "Katharine his wife," of Dorchester, on 23 July 1686.

Notes
Daughter of Joseph Wise, the Roxbury butcher, and Mary Tompson, baptized at Roxbury in October 1658, one of their twelve children (source). Her brother was Rev. John Wise of Chebacco, and her sisters included Mary, wife of Caleb Lamb, and Abigail, wife of Adam Cogswell.
On 1 July 1680 she married Richard Mather of Dorchester, a grandson of Rev. Richard Mather. Their children were born at Dorchester: Capt. Timothy (March 1680/1), Elizabeth (20 Nov 1682), Samuel (January 1683/4) and Joseph (1686) (source). The family moved to Lyme, where Richard bought land in 1687 and died the next year (source).
Through her the Hatten line meets the Low line. Her son Capt. Timothy Mather’s descendants, the Mathers and Marvins of Lyme, lead to Ruth (Marvin) Philbrick of Ohio and Minnesota; her sisters Mary and Abigail are ancestors of Harriet Low. Between Katherine and Ruth Marvin, one link, Ruth as Pickett Marvin’s daughter, is probable rather than proven (see Ruth’s page).
