About Anna Maria ‘Mary’ Gill


Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mainwaring-374

Mary Mainwaring was the daughter of Oliver Mainwaring, Gent. of Exeter, Devon and Windleshaw (in Prescot), Lancashire and Margaret Torbock, daughter of William Torbock, Esq. of Tarbock (in Huyton), Lancashire.[1][3][4]

Marriage

Mary Mainwaring "married before 16 July 1641 Benjamin Gill, Gent."[2]

"Mary, wife of Benjamin Gill, Gent.,... daughter of 'Margrett Mainwaringe of Wyndleshaw in the County of Lancaster, Widdow'" (indenture dated 16 July 1641, "Lancashire Rec. Office, Preston").[2]

"Presumably they are Benjamin Gill, styled both Getleman and yeoman, of St. Andrew's, Holborn, tailor, and his wife, Mary (also called Anne), who were indicted for recusancy and not attending church in 1626" and subsequent years.[2][3] This would seem to indicate that they were married no later than 1626.

Benjamin immigrated to Maryland in 1642.[2][3]

Children

Benjamin & Mary had one daughter,

  1. Anne Maria, wife of Capt. James Neale, Gent.[2][3]

Disputed Children:

  1. Rebecca, married (1) Francis "John" Knott, (2) Robert Cole[5][6]
  2. Stephen[7]

Research Notes

Name: "Isebella" was entered as her middle name, but lacks support in text. Name currently "Ann "Mary" Maria (Mainwaring) Gill" is intended as best option based on Richardson, who notes:

"It would appear that Benjamin Gill's wife's full name was Ann Maria, like their daughter, as she is called Anne and Mary indifferently in English records".[2]
Robert Brooks: Robert Brooks was detached as a spouse. There is no mention of Brooks name in Douglas Richardson's documentation. Marriage to Robert in 1635, however, is unlikely, assuming Mary and Benjamin are the couple indicted in 1626 (and they were still married when they emigrated to Maryland in 1642).

Disputed Children: See above. Only Anne Maria is mentioned in Richardson.[2]

Alternative information: Changed unsourced birth/death years from 1590/1655 to 1605/1665 to facilitate a merge, now completed.

  5. A profile for Rebecca Knott was detached as her daughter. A merge for that profile with Rebecca Gill was proposed, and Benjamin was detached as father of Rebecca Gill. (See Rebecca Gill's profile for transcriptions of court records involving Robert Cole's administration of Benjamin Gill's estate.)
  6. Rebecca's profile seemed to source Gill as "Last Name at Birth" to Encyclopedia.com. However, as of 30 May 2019, not even Benjamin Gill is mentioned there (it is an article on Robert Cole).
  7. Information on Stephen's profile (as of 30 May 2019) does not show support for him being their son (birth in London, 1632; immigration in 1665).
