Research suggests that this person may never have existed. See the text for details.

Mary is not mentioned in the will of her father John dated 20 July 1648 or the codicil dated 20 September 1650. The will is very detailed and mentions son Robert, daughter Grizell, and grandchildren, godchildren, brothers, servants etc, so Mary, if she existed, probably died before then.[2]

According to a source quoted on Wikipedia, John Overton had five children: Robert, Frances, Germaine, Griselle (Griselda) and Thomas.[3] The source is a 1997 book "The Overtons: 700 Years ..etc"[4] If anyone has access to this book, please add details of any sources given.
