Not the daughter of Rev. John Youngs, of Southold

2. Joseph² Raynor, born about 1623, died in 1682; married Mary

From TAG, Vol. 37, pp 16-17

"He was a Patentee of Southampton, 1676 [Southampton T.R. 2:348]. His will, 8 May 1678, proved 28 Oct. 1682, named wife Mary; sons Thurston, Isaac, John and Josiah; daughter Elizabeth, two cows (so probably married); and daughters Mary and Hannah, £50 each (so probably unmarried) [Abstracts, New York Wills, 1:120; correction in 16:13]."
"Mary widow of Joseph Raynor disharged her son-in-law John Earle from demands in 1693, and on 26 June 1685 gave to her son John Raynor, and her clothing to daughter Elizabeth Lake [Southampton T.R. 5:207, 224]."

"Isaac Raynor conveyed 24 Aug. 1686 to brother-in-law John Earle, land bought from John Rose, and Earle released claim against Raynor in case Abigail wife of John Rose shoud claim her dower right [ibid. 5:234]."
"Josiah and John Raynor exchanged land from father Joseph, 1689. Thurston Raynor of Southampton sold land to brother Isaac, 1691 and 1693; and in 1694, being "late of Southampton," quitclaimed to brothers Isaac and John. Josiah Raynor conveyed to brother Isaac, Feb. 1696; and John Raynor conveyed to brother Josiah of Lyme in 1717. [Ibid. 5:261, 280, 300; 2:320, 333; 6:118.]"

Mary married Joseph Raynor probably in 1660,[1][2] although her maiden surname seems to be absent from the records which have been found.

She died (possibly) in 1686.[1]

Research Notes

More research needs to be done to determine whether Mary's surname was actually Youngs. Until that can be documented it will be impossible to locate birth records for her or even know for sure what part of England she came from (or even if she did come from England).
