Marey ‘Marcy’ Ross

Not the same as Mary Chase

This Mary Dudley was apparently born 22 Feb 1711 or 1715/1716, Sutton, Worcester, MA; died 29 Nov 1765 Lancaster, Worcester, MA, and was married to Thomas Ross. Parents are Samuel Dudley and "Abigail King", per North American Family Histories, 1500-2000. See source tab.

She has been confused by another Mary Dudley of the same era, daughter of Lieut. Samuel Dudley and Abigail Rogers, born Concord MA 24 Aug 1711, married Samuel Chase in May 1727, and died 12 Feb 1789, Cornish, NH.
