Mary married James Young, the son of Joseph Young and Sarah Davis, on 12 February 1706/7 at Eastham, (then) Barnstable County, Province of Massachusetts Bay.[1][4][5]

Mary, wife of James Young, was baptized in the Truro Church 8 May 1720.[6] She and James were admitted to said church the same day,[7] and their six living children were baptized the next week, 15 May 1720.[6][1]
