About Grace Perry

Married 1st, as 2nd wife, John Nichols, who died before 19 Jun 1655. Married 2nd, Richard Perry, who died 10 Sep 1658.

May have had a maiden name of Dowife and been baptized in 1611. Birth date seems to be circa 1609. 1st husband, John, said to be born 5/16/1601 in Sedgeberrow, Worcestershire, England) Death date is unclear, perhaps around 1650 or 1680.

https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/9HJ4-3FC/grace-dowife-1613-1680 Here, she is said to have been born in 1613 at St. Bartholomew by The Royal Exchange, London, England, UK and died 1/6/1680 in Fairfield, CT, USA, and her mother is listed as Elvey Rowland (1580-1618) Other family trees have her mother as Margaret Ward (born in 1594 in England)

All of these folks seemed to have short lives in England, so it is possible that there was an adoption along the way when a mother died young.
