Miner Descent also has, as daughter of unknown Ayres:

• Mary Ayres married William Fellows 1641. Died 1702 Ipswich, Mass.

This is based on:

Research done by W. H Whitmore, " The Ayres and Ayer Families", in the NEGHS, 1863,17:307-310, states the following; A John Ayres was known to have lived in Ipswich in 1648 and 1672. In 1661 he and William Fellows jointly petitioned the county clerk on behalf of the minor children of Sarah, who was described as "our sister". Sarah had been married to William Lampson, who died Feb 1, 1658. She then wanted to marry Thomas Hartshorne, this being opposed by the petitioners, "her brothers". This is taken to mean that John Ayres was a true brother of Sarah and that William was married to the sister of Sarah and John Ayres. Thus the maiden name of Ayres for Mary.

However http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db..., quoting (Ref; Fellows Families of Onondaga County NY and their Ancestry), assigns her birth date of "about 1610," and that would place her in an earlier generation, and as a daughter of the Humphrey who died in 1628 with known children born in Mary's time frame - but not the 1620's like the other children.
