She was born May 28, 1650, and survived her husband, marrying John Austin (as his second wife) Jany. 24, 1684.

In the "Families of Ancient New Haven" (p.90) Mary Barnes is given as the mother of Elizabeth Barnes, who married John Austin. On p. 323 it lists the marriage of Benjamin Brockett to Elizabeth Barnes on 24 Mar 1668/9.
