Richard Foxwell, of Barnstable - Overview: "Parents Unknown"

You are referring to Mary Cole

I’m confused. Her profile overview is “She was the daughter of Richard Foxwell and Anne Shelly”. So that’s fine.

The “about” for Richard Foxwell, of Barnstable

Ken added:

Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988 @Ancestry.com:

?Name: Mary Foxwell

Birth Date: 17 Aug 1635
Birth Place" Barnstable, Massachusetts
Father: Richard Foxwell

On top of the previous:

Parents unknown. Not son of [[Richard Foxwell, of Piscataqua Richard Foxwell, of Piscataqua] Richard Foxwell] and [[Susanna Foxwell Susanna Foxwell] Susan Bonython].

So parents unknown refers to Richard, not to his daughter Mary.

Here’s a decent study of Mary Foxwell.
