Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mayo-297
Samuel Mayo, son of Nathaniel Mayo and Hannah Prence, was b in Eastham, Plymouth Colony 12 Oct 1655.[1][2] and was buried in the Orleans Cemetery.[3]
Samuel married (1) _____ _____ who died before 15 July 1727 (Samuel's intention to marry second wife).[1][4] The children named in Samuel's will were all married before he married his second wife, so were the children of his first wife.
The Mayflower Index 1932 and NEHGR 102:49 listed his wife as Ruth Hopkins d/o Gyles and Catherine (Wheldon) Hopkins). Gyles 1682 will and 1688/9 codicil, probated 1690, do not mention any daughters[5][1] In the 2014 Brewster Silver Book (Part 1) it is indicated that neither the first nor last name of Samuel's first wife is known. It confirms that this unknown first wife is the mother of all of his children and that she probably died in Eastham before 15 July 1727.[6] In the 2019 Brewster Silver Book (Part 3) all seven children (Hannah, Sarah, Samuel, Jonathan, Rebecca, Mary, and Mercy) are listed as being the children of Samuel with no mention of a mother.[7]
He married second Mary Sweat in Eastham 31 Aug. 1727/8[sic]. Her ancestry is unknown.[8][1] She probably died before 9 Apr 1734 (husband's will). Given Samuel's age, Mary was probably previously married.[1]
In his will 9 Apr. 1734 Samuel gave his sons Jonathan and Samuel most of the real estate but some of it to be shared by his daughters. The probate court ruled on 27 Nov. 1760 that the real estate could not be divided to the testators wishes without damage to its value and ordered it to be sold at public auction and the money distributed amongst the heirs including the daughters; Mercy, wife of John Cole, Mary, wife of Ralph Smith, Rebecca, wife of Stephen Cole, the heirs of deceased Hannah, wife of Judah Hopkins, the heirs of deceased daughter Sarah, wife of James Higgins, and grandson Thomas Mayo, son of Samuel. [10][11]
Samuel died 29 Oct 1738, aged 83 years,[2] and was buried in the Orleans Cemetery.[1][12]
