Possibly the "1604" is a typo? Again, please re-read my message of 15-Sep-2008. There are no contemporary records to support two wives for Thomas. Also note that "1604" is a guess for the father's birth year - since Thomas was admitted an inhabitant of Charlestown in 1635, he was probably born by 1614. If he was born about 1614, and his first child, Mary, was born about 1655, he would have married late, at around 40, and so his wife Mary would likely have been much younger than he was. Dale H.
