Mary's death date is not known, although she died sometime after the birth of Rebecca who was born May 5, 1798 and prior to John marring his second wife.
At this time there is not much known about John Scranton's second wife who is listed as Rachel Bishop. All that is known is her death date of December 3, 1736.
The Bishop last name may be a married name and not her true maiden name. I have spent a lot of time attempting to tie her back to one of the Bishop families in New Haven County, Connecticut during this time period with no luck.
The same thing goes for his third wife who is listed as Sarah Evarts. Only her death date is known from the Hale Transcriptions and it gives an approximate birth date of 1686.
This Sarah cannot be tied back to any of the Evarts families that lived in New Haven County. Evarts may be a married name and not her maiden name.
