Her parents
Both "The Richards Memorial" pages 38 and 39, and "The History of Cambridge before 1700" state the John Richardson and Joanna were Mary's parents. The History of Cambridge states that John's daughter, Mary, married Theophilis Richardson of Woburn. One of them said Richard and Jane's daughter, Mary, born 1635 died young. They had another daughter, Mary in 1639, who has a husband and children here, on Family Search. Why would they name two daughters Mary if one hadn't died. I saw all three of these births listed on Massachusetts Vital Records for Cambridge, but no deaths. John and Joanna's Mary was baptized "16__" Same '16__" for her two siblings. C.R.I. (per church records)

NOTE: "The second wife of John Brooks,
NOTE: "The second wife of John Brooks, Mary (Champney) Richardson, was the
widow of Theophilus Richardson, who was the son of Susanna, stepmother to John
and second wife of Henry Brooks. So, John married his step-brother's wife.
Mary (Champney) Richardson Brooks was the daughter of John Champney of
Cambridge." (ltr from Ann Brooks dtd 24 Apr 1992 ipo jcr)
