Notes
- The first birth recorded in Dedham records is that of Mary, the daughter of John and Hana Dwight, born 25 5th mo 1635. But ... "Mary Dwight was not born in Dedham. The 1635 birth entry in the Dedham records is an interpolation made sometime after 1638, when the records were begun. There was no "Dedham" or Dedham company in 1635."
- *** She couldn't have been born in Dedham in 1635. Dedham did not exist until 1636. She was most likely born at Sea.
MARY DWIGHT:
Mary Dwight's birth in 1635 occurred prior to the award of the land grant to what would become the body of "Dedham" proprietors, and even more precedent to anybody being resident on any portion of the geographic area that became "Dedham." Mary Dwight's birth-at-sea is confirmed in Samuel Sewall's Diary, her demise and funeral under her married name of Phillips; however it is written that MARY DWIGHT "she is mentioned in the town records as the first child born there".
From Samuel Sewell's Diary I find.
Sixth day Jany 8th, Went to the Funeral of Mrs. Mary Phillips, who was born at sea, is within a few months of 80: a good woman. Bearers, Mr. Cooke, Elisha Hutchinson,; Mr. Addington Townsend; Mr. Dummer, Ephraime Savage.
