From The New England Historical and Genealogical Register

Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Hawkredd and Isabel Dowse. married first John Coney 16 Dec 1630 Boston, England. John Coney died and was buried 6 April 1630 England. (Elizabeth Hawkredd and John Coney had 4 children only 2 lived to adulthood, John Coney and Mary Coney). Elizabeth married second Oliver Mellows in England about 1632. Oliver died Dec 1638 in Braintree. (Oliver Mellows and Elizabeth Hawkredd had 3 children, Samuel Mellows, Martha Mellows and Mary Mellows). Elizabeth married for her third husband in 1641, Thomas Makepeace (his second marriage).
The combination of the several personal identifications shown in the wills of the Rev. John Cotton, Mary (Hawkredd) Coney, and her sister Sarah (Hawkredd-Story-Cotton) Mather, and of Thomas Makepeace, would, without other evidence, establish the fact that Elizabeth ( Hawkredd-Coney- Mellows) Makepeace left England soon after the death of her first husband, and shows her relationship, and that of the two little children she brought with her to her new home, to these different testators and to her second husband. And the evidence, taken as a whole, determines beyond question that the two neices mentioned in their Aunt Sarah's will were Mary (Coney) Dennis and Martha (Mellows) Waters, and that the nephew to whom she bequeathed a book was that John Coney who was baptized in Boston, Lincolnshire, July 17, 1628, and who married, in Boston, New England, June 20, 1654, Elizabeth Nash

From page 12 of The Parentage and English Progenitors of Nathaniel Coney of Boston, Mass By Thomas Hills, Nathaniel Coney

So it appears that in 1654, among the descendants of Anthony Hawkredd, there were but two John Coneys living: one the infant grandson of his daughter Mary, and the other the John baptized July 17, 1628, who was the only son of his daughter Elizabeth. At that date, all but one of the sisters of the latter John Coney were dead, as were all his cousins the children of Thomas and Mary (Hawkredd) Coney, with the possible exception of that Anthony who was baptized in Aug., 1622. John's father had died when he was less than two years old; his mother soon married Oliver Mellows. The marriage was probably in England. It is not of record in Boston, New Englaud, where Dec. 7, 1634, Samuel, son of Oliver Mellows, was baptized, and where in 1636 Martha, and in 1638 Mary, his sisters, were also baptized. Rev. John Cotton, in his will of 1652, wrote: "I give to my kinswoman Martha Mellows the sume of five marks." Some two years later she became, by marriage, Martha Waters. Pope, in his "Pioneers of Massachusetts," says that Oliver Mellows of Boston and his wife were admitted to the church in July, 1634; that he died at Braintree; that administration of his estate was granted to his widow, in Dec, 1638, and that she subsequently married Thomas Makepeace. The Makepeace Genealogy states that "It appears that Mr. Makepeace lived (1641) at Dorchester. * * He married, about this time, Mrs. Elizabeth Mellowes, of Boston, for his second wife; for in the records of the First Church, Boston, is found the following: 'The 25th day of ye 5th Mon: 1641. Mrs. Elizabeth Makepeace, lately called Mrs. Elizabeth Mellowes, but now ye wife of Mr. Makepeace, of Dorchester, was granted tre of Recommendation thether.'" This work gives the death of her third husband as of Jan. or Feb., 1667. So it appears that his widow at his death was the mother of John and Mary Coney, and of Samuel, Martha, and Mary Mellows. Mary Coney, born in England in 1630, married James Dennis; and the marriages of Martha Mellows to Joseph Waters, and of Mary Mellows to Emanuel Springfield, are of record in Boston. The Springfields evidently returned to England. The will of Thomas Makepeace mentions "his well beloved wife Elizabeth," and contains this item: "1 give to my wife's three daughters, vizt. unto Mary, the wife of James Dennis of Boston, and to Martha, the wife of Joseph Waters of Milford, and to Mary the wife of Emanuell Springfield in Old England, * * * to each and every of them * * * the sume of fifty shillings."
