DISPROVEN: "The often claimed marriage to Mary Sims on 4 June 1634 cannot be substantiated. Extensive research in the Long Sutton, Martok and Lubenham, Somerset, England parish churches failed to show any marriage in 1634 between a Robert Royce by any spelling and a Mary Sims (Syms). The closest that could be found was between a Robert Rayce and a Mary Sims on 4 June 1624 in Long Sutton. Clarence Leslie Hewitt, Jr. in an article originally published in the NEGHS Register and later in "English Origins of New England Families", Series 2, Volume 3 pp 42-45 titled "Some Light on the Marriage of Robert and Mary Royce of Connecticut" concludes this could not be the correct date because the earliest recorded birth of a child, Sarah, was 1633-34 and they had seven [ten] children total."

In 1965, Clarence Leslie Hewitt, Jr. did extensive research in New England and in Somerset County, England. He published an essay on his findings entitled "Some Light on the Marriage of Robert and Mary Royce of Connecticut" in English Origins of New England Families, Series 2, Volume 3, pp 42-45 (originally in the NEHGS Register).His main conclusion is that there is no record of a marriage between Robert Royce and Mary Sims dated Jun 4, 1634.He further concludes that a marriage on June 4, 1624 between Robert Rayce and Mary Sims could not be the correct one .He does not believe there could be a 10 year gap between the date of their marriage and the date of their first born child, Sarah or Jonathon. Thus he concludes all claims that the Mary Royce that is our ancestress is Mary Sims are wrong.

He cites work by Frank Farnsworth Starr and Donald Lines Jacobus which provides rather conclusive evidence that the Robert Royce or Rice of Boston and part of the Winthrop Fleet is not the same individual as Robert Royce of New London, Connecticut. Robert Royce of Boston died prior to Oct 1652 and was outlived by his wife Elizabeth
