Who was Mary (Mariner) Rood, Wife of Samuel-2?
.

From time to time we have speculated on the descent of Mary Marriner, wife of Samuel-2 Rood of Simsbury, Norwich, and later Canaan, Conn. Now there comes to light an undocumented fact from Mrs. Hopee Rood Barry of Asheville, North Carolina, provided her by a genealogist who claims to have found in the Newberry library, Chicago, Illinois, the information that she was Mary-2 Marriner, daughter of Professor James Marriner, an emigrant to New London, Conn.
.

Your editor [Robert Rood Buell] has done some preliminary skirmishing with this information, but to date he has not been able to affirm or deny it. In fact, he cannot, to date, find any such James Marriner, professor or otherwise, in the New London area.
.

In the records of Salem, Mass. we find that Capt. Richard Mariner sold his home on the "first month 29th day 1652" [29 March 1652] but there is no further record of him. Another Mariner was evidently about this time "of Newfoundland" and sold fish, etc. in the Massachusetts Bay colony.
.

Then (according to Underhill "Descendants of Edward Small" Revised Edition, Vol. III) we find in Dover, New Hampshire, in 1681 an Andrew Mariner. Perhaps he is the same Andrew Mariner (signing himself Andre Marine) who on 10 Nov 1684 was in Boston "a shoemaker from New London at George Cables's." He bought land shortly in Boston and the next year (1685) his first of five children are recorded in Boston birth records, so Boston was evidently his home for awhile. Land purchased and sales are recorded there for him. But note that, if the two Andrew Mariners (of Dover and of Boston) are the same man, he lived, say 1681-1684, in New London, Conn., which is about 40 miles from Norwich where Mary Mariner mar. 1690 Samuel-2 Rood. Andrew was evidently connected with the Huguenot Colony in Boston because Francis Barers and Benjamin Fanieul witnessed one deed. He later moved to New York as Underhill shows.
.

Here, then, are apparently, two Mariners in Connecticut 1680-1690 since Andrew m. (say 1685 or 1684?) and moved to Boston, and Mary who mar. 1690 in Norwich. Were they two children of a father, not yet discovered, presumably Andrew the elder? Or were they father and daughter, with this Boston family being a second family for Andrew? Is there any similarity in names given children? Alas, no, Andrew's family in Boston were named (in order of birth) Margaret, Ruth, Priscilla, and twins Andrew and George. Mary (Mariner) Rood named hers: Samuel, Mary, Abigail, Mercy (Rood names) and Elizabeth, Jabez, Job and Mariner (not previously used as Rood names). The problem is still with us: who was Mary Mariner?

(Note: by Mona Rood) Ralph KLeymeyer has given me Thomas Mariner as the father of Mary. He does not show a source. .
