Biography

Mary was born in 1655. [1] [2]

She died about 1700[3]

Mary's Natural Father

"NEHGR 65:85 "Spinney, Randall, Norman" Pope's Maine and New Hampshire Pioneers, if published at the time, would have subjected the author to an action for libel, for he says that the unfortunate young woman, Margery Randall, was found guilty, because she was unable to prove her marriage to William Norman, whereas a few pages further along the records show Norman's confession of having greievously wronged her by marrying her without having been divorced from his wife in England; whereupon Margery's marriage was annulled, with alimony, and he was banished the province under pain of death. Thomas Spinney was mentioned in these proceedings, and this was doubtless the Margery that became his wife. It is commonly stated that Mary, wife of John Fernald,was daughter of Thomas Spinney, but I surmise that she was daughter of William and Margery Norman by this bigamous marriage. Norman was prosecuted for this double marriage in March 1650-1, and the History of Kittery says that J ohn and Mary were married before 1669. Thomas Spinney does not mention Mary in his will although it was witnessed b y a Mary Fernald; but he had previously conveyed to John Fernald a piece of land by a peculiarly worded deed. Whethe r the original deed is in existence I know not, but I have closely examined the original record. ..."[4][5]
