Source: Glover, Anna. Glover Memorials and Genealogies : An Account of John Glover of Dorchester, Massachusetts and His Descendants, with a Brief Sketch of, p. 209, speculates wrongly that:

"Her age at death as nearly as can be deciphered from the gravestone was 73 years which seems to confirm the conjecture that before marriage she was Miriam Deane daughter of Stephen Deane of Plymouth."

"This speculation is easily disproved. Source:Mayflower Descendant, p. 4:181, in regards to the estate of her step-father Josiah Cooke (who married Elizabeth (Ring) Deane after Stephen Deane died):

"Meriam Deane made oath to the truth of this Invintory in the prerogative Court in Barnestable may the one and thirtith day 1687"

"and other records that show Miriam Deane was still unmarried even long after John Smith had died and his widow had married for the second time. Further, it is thought Miriam Deane was the "my now wife Miriam Wing" named in the 1696 will of John Wing, because widow Wing's will mentions a niece of Miriam Deane's (Source:NEHGR, p. 18:266), while John Smith's wife Miriam died as "Mrs Miriam Wood Widow of Ellis Wood and Wife of John Smith Deceased" according to her gravestone (Glover, p. 209)."
