Mary was the daughter of Sarah Cornell and Zaccheus Butts. She had 4 siblings: Sarah, John, Abigail and Elizabeth. Her father deserted her mother and when that happened Mary was put in with the family of Joseph Palmer, but the court deeded this Mr. Palmer as "...not suitable to bring her up", so ordered her to be put in the family of David Lake "...whose wife is the childs grandmother." After her father died, her mother married John Cole.
Mary married Benjamin Brayton, Sr on November 12, 1719 in Portsmouth, RI. Their son, Benjamin, Jr. is our ancestor. They had 4 other children: David, Rebecca Sarah and Francis. Mary is buried with her husband.
