      First Mary
      My records from "Portrait of our Family Tree Bartholomew and Davis Families" By June Hartzell show Thomas marrying two Mary's. The first one is the unfortunate woman that was accused of being a witch.
      She was hung as a witch on Jan. 20 1662. She was accused by Rebecca Greensmith. She was arrested Jan. 6 1662. I don't have her last name or any information. It might have been destroyed with her tragic death.

      The second Mary was Mary Andrews.
