Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mar-Int:
At a Quarterly Meeting held at the house of Ann Chew Samuel Thomas and Mary Hutchins laid their intentions of marriage before the Meeting. Those friends that were appointed by the last man's Meeting at the Cliffs gave account that the parents are willing. Thomas Smith did discharge the said Mary Hutchins from any engagement whatsoever, whereupon this meeting does leave them to their liberty.

Mary married Samuel THOMAS on 15 May 1688 in West River, Anne Arundel, MD. Samuel (son of Philip THOMAS and Sarah HARRISON) was born about 1655 in MD; died before 10 Feb 1743. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
The Thomas Book states "As Samuel Thomas unquestionably m in 1688, a Mary Hutchins, and their certificate is signed, first, by Francis Hutchins (see West River Marriage Book, p. 19), she must have been the child of a former marriage, her sister of the same name marrying Benjamin Hance.

Note: It seems unlikely to me that Francis Hutchins who married Elizabeth Burrage is the father of this Mary by a previous marriage as stated in "The Thomas Book." At the time of his will in 1698 Francis Hutchins listed 7 children in his will, a son John and 6 daughters all under the age of 16. If this Mary Hutchins marries in 1688 she was likely born between 1660 and 1673, too old to have been his daughter. I have seen recorded that son-in-law Samuel Thomas is mentioned in the will of Francis Hutchins but have not seen a copy of that.

From the West River Marriage Book, folio 19.
