Her only son was Reverend Doctor Mather Byles, minister of the Hollis Street Church, Boston from 1733 until 1776. He sympathized with the British and his connection with the church ceased shortly after the Americans regained control of the city of Boston in 1776. As part of the will of Reverend Doctor Increase Mather, the education of Mather Byles was made the responsibility of Reverend Doctor Cotton Mather, his uncle. The young Byles was left fatherless and Reverend Doctor Increase must have loved him dearly to have mentioned him several times among his final words. His son, Reverend Mather Byles, was settled over the Congregational Church of New Haven, Connecticut in 1757. Afterwards he became an Episcopalian, and settled in St. Johns, New Brunswick.
