Mary Gardiner

Most sources give her name as Mary. She married 1) John Welsh 2) James Ellis 3) John Gardiner

Had 6 children, all at Anne Arundell, Maryland.

She is apparently Damaris' daughter by first husband (prior to Nicholas Wyatt), and not a Wyatt by birth. Several sources claim that Nicholas Wyatt came to Maryland from Virginia with his wife and "her" daughter.

Since Nicholas Wyatt took full responsibility for her, she can be considered his adopted daughter, whether or not any legal formalities were involved.

Major John Welsh, English immigrant, was born about 1622. He served in the Nanticoke War; was High Sheriff of Anne Arundel County and a Commissioner of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. His will was made in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, January 6, 1683 and recorded March 3, 1683-4 (Liber 4, Folio 35). It names his wife, Mary; sons, Silvester (oldest), John & Benjamin; and daughters, Mary, Eliza, Sarah & Damaris; unborn child [Robert]; and brother, Henry.
