What her date or place of birth was, her family name at birth, or who her parents were is not supported by any solid sources. More research is needed.
1632 Birth
There are no credible primary records showing Charity's birth or family name. She was probably born in England; unsourced secondary material shows her variously from Middlesex, Exeter, or Devonshire, England, born from 1625 to 1634. This must be taken as clues only for additional research.
All sources agree her name was Charity. Some unsourced material shows her given name as Mary Charity. In different accounts, her maiden name is variously given as Wood, Woodward, Woodwards, Woodman, Ryan or Unknown.. None of these should be considered reliable!
Birth Year Estimation
Charity's marriage year is calaculated as 1651. If she were aged 19 at the time, her birth year might have been 1632. Such estimates are highly speculative and useful primarily for placing a person in the right time and place.
