     As pointed out by Jacobus in "John Andrews of Farmington" (Source:TAG, p. 35:84, the three older children, Mary age 14, John, age 13, and Hannah, age 11 were baptized 16 May 1658 after John owned the Covenant, and not earlier when Mary did, or when the younger children did. This suggests a possibility that Mary was not their natural mother and perhaps she was a second wife?

Thus we see above that our progenitors had not only gathered a snug little property for those early times, but were scrupulously careful to have it divided among their children and grand-children in a just and equitable proportion, at their decease. Tile aged patriarch in writing up his will seemed to be troubled that his debts were so much, £2 6s. 6d. !!! What an insignificant sum, you exclaim. It proves that the early settlers abborred debts, and were very careful to shun them. I regret exceedingly to be under the necessity of going to press without giving date of the birth of our progenitor, or where born, or the full maiden or family name of his wife, Mary. Tile supposition is that they were both born in Essex Co., England. Source Link: https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000175875300829label=@S70@
