Mary was born in England, probably in the Sprauston, Norfolk area. Her family name is unknown. She married John Cutler, probably in Sprauston, and they had seven children by 1637. It is claimed that they were Puritans and were persecuted to the extent that they were forced to leave England. Early in 1637 they emigrated to New England, settling in Hingham, Massachusetts in June. Her husband John died in February of 1638, and she was left destitute. A relative of her husband, Deacon Robert Cutler of Charlestown took some of her older sons to raise.
After being a widow for twelve years, she married, as his second wife, Thomas Hewett of Hingham. Hewett died in 1670 and some of John's sons went to court to recover some of the land that had belonged to their father. They must have been successful, for later that year they sold some of that same land. Mary died on December 12, 1681 in Reading. The record reads: "Mary Hervet, mother of Thomas Cutler"
