      Rev. Wilson did have a daughter named Mary, but she was born in a different year, and married Rev. Samuel Danforth.
      In an article published in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, January 2001, the authors list Mary Wilson, daughter of Rev. John and Elizabeth Mansfield Wilson, as follows: "Mary Wilson, b. in Boston 12 September 1633 and bp there 15 September 1633; married in 1651 Rev. Samuel Danforth, (2) Joseph Rock." No mention of Thomas Bray. Also, in Douglas Richardson's "Royal ," he states: "They [Elizabeth Mansfield and Rev. John Wilson] had two daughters, Elizabeth (wife of Ezekiel Rogers) and Mary (wife of Rev. Samuel Danforth and Joseph Rock)." [2]
