Notes about Mary Andrews

Mary Andrews, who married William Hodges, was daughter of Henry Andrews, one of the original purchasers of Taunton, in 1637, from the Indians, one of the first 7 freemen of Taunton, one of the first 2 deputies from Taunton to the General Court in 1639 (deputy also in 1643, 1644, 1647 and 1649), one of the first stockholders of the first Taunton iron-works, the builder of the first meeting-house in Taunton, and in other ways one of the first men of the town. He was one of the wealthiest men of the place.
On March 15, 1654/5, the will of Mary Andrews, widow of Henry, was proved. On this same date Mary (Andrews) Hodges, widow of William, testified to the correctness of the inventory of her husband's estate. And on this same date widow Mary Hodges executed the foiling deed of gift to her two children: " Bee it known unto all men that I, Mary Hedgis, widow, of the town and plantation of Taunton, within the pattent of New Plymouth, do give out of my estate left me by my husband as followeth. Imprimis. I give unto John, my eldestsonne, thirty pounds, with my house, home lott and all lands pertaining thereto. Item. I give unto Henery, my second son, the sum of thirty pounds, with a parcel of land given me by my father, lying between the Lotts of my brother Henry Andrews and John Cobb. Item. I reserve in my own hands the sum of thirty pounds of my estate to despose thereof as I shall think good...."
