Mary, the wife of Edward Elmer and Thomas Catlin, was first married to John Marshall. [???] Many researchers have merged Edward Elmer's wife with Mary Partridge, daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge and Patience Bathurst and wife of John Marshall of Lenham, Kent, England. Some have also identified her as the first wife of Thomas Catlin, while others have her as his second wife. The error is copied and re-posted frequently in online family trees and in the Family Tree at familysearch.org. I have not seen a source, other than "gedcom" or posted trees, for deciding to link these women into one. I have, however, found evidence to the contrary.
Elmer's first and Catlin's first or second wives "Mary" may have been named "Mary Partridge" or "Mary Marshall," but they could not have been the same as the daughter of Rev. Ralph Partridge of Duxbury, Massachusetts, nor wife of John Marshall of Lenham, Kent, England.
