Mary was the daughter of Thomas (mother unknown) Clifton (He later married Mary Longbotham Butterworth {the latter name was due to her 1st marriage}). She married Obadiah Bowen in 1648/9 in Rehoboth, MA. She is buried with her husband.

From FAG contributor, William Carr #47561367: "For almost a hundred years, it has been assumed that Mary's surname was Clifton and that she was probably a daughter of Thomas1 Clifton of Weymouth and Rehoboth (Representative Men and Families of R.I., 2:1005). No marriage is recorded, however, and there is no direct evidence that this assumption is correct." The American Genealogist, Vol. 76, p. 277.

Gravesite Details

Another record shows that she was born in 1629. It has also been brought to my attention that she was most likely born in England because Rehoboth, MA was not a town until 1643.
