Checked against the records

  • Proven
    Rev. John Wise, pastor at Chebacco, was Mary Lamb's uncle

    Roxbury records give Mary Wise (bp. 27 Feb 1649/50), later Caleb Lamb's wife, and John Wise (bp. 15 Aug 1652) as children of Joseph Wise. John was the Chebacco minister from 1680, so David Low's bride was his niece. How the couple met is not recorded.

  • Disproven
    Mary Wise married Caleb Lamb on 9 Apr 1669

    Roxbury records give 30 June 1669 ("Marie Wise"), as Mollie's own Lamb chart has it. 9 April is Caleb Lamb's birthday (1641).
