I am trying to find the ancestors of Mary Weld b. March 30, 1667 married 1st to David Alexander who was killed at Deerfield 1704. Mary was taken captive, returned and married Samuel Smead b. 1669 who family was also killed that day. According to Sheldon (see below) she was the daughter of Daniel Weld, b. 1642. Again according to Sheldon he was probably the son of Joseph of Roxbury, and that he married Mary Hinsdale. According to Savage Daniel of Roxbury son of Joseph was a Dr. who married m. Bethia, sec. d. of Edward Mitchelson, and was possibly the father of Mary b. Feb 19, 1676. But the good Dr. Daniel Weld has the same birthday Dr. Daniel Weld b. 18 Sep 1642 (within a few days) as the father of Mary Weld who married Mary Hinsdale. So my question being who were the ancestors of Mary Weld Alexander who married Samuel Smead???? Daniel Weld son of Joseph son of Edmund. Or Daniel Weld unknown?????
