The extant gravestone of Mary's older brother Thomas dates his birth to on or after Mar. 5, 1697/98, probably in Guilford. Mary's two youngest siblings, Ebenezer and Hannah, were bapt. of record at the First Cong. Church of Middletown, Conn. in Sept. 1702 and Sept. 1705, respectively, and in July 1704 their mother Mary (Atwater) Robinson was admitted to full communion of the Middletown Church.
