6159. Mary Green. Born ca 1633 in England.215 Mary died aft 1667.
Mary was mentioned in her father’s will. It is frequently said that Mary married John Waite, but that she died before 1656. Presumably the conclusion that Mary married John Waite follows from the facts that John Waite was an executor of Mary’s father’s will and John’s wife’s name was Mary. But John’s wife was Mary Hills whom he married 22 Jul 1642 at Malden. Furthermore, Mary Green, being named in her father’s will, did not die before 1656.

Mary Green's marriage to John Waite had been sourced by the work of Samuel Greene who thinks she was born about 1633 but it is very questionable. Torrey in "New England Marriages to 1700" shows John Waite marrying Mary "Hills" (daughter of Joseph) NOT Mary Green by 1656. He cites:
Warner-Harrington 642 Reg. 24:103, 26:82, 28:89, 31:161, 32:189, 51:299, 301, 57:196, 94:221
Snow-Estes 1:216, 217, 238, 273, 2:235;
Numerous other sources support that John Waite married Mary (Hills) Wayte (see her profile), and he has been removed as Mary Green's spouse.
Mary was not christened in Toppesfield, at least no birth is found there. Based on her order listed in her father's will her birth is estimated at about 1647 making her too young to be John Waite's bride. Mary was living as of November 22, 1667, when her father wrote his will, in which she was mentioned.[1] No further information has been found for her.
Additionally this Green family was from Toppesfield, Essex; not from Leicestershire.
