No one has been able to disprove that Rebecca (Marbury ?) was not "Goodwife". No one can say for certain she was not a daughter of Rev. Frances Marbury. So who was Mrs. Richard Maxson? How true were the events of the Indian raid that killed Ann Hutchinson and members of her family including Richard Maxson and son Richard Jr. Maxson. Then half the manifest of the ship Griffen is missing or possibly never existed. Appears we know enough about Richard Maxson but not his wife. So where does the unresolved issue belong. Some people are saying that Rebecca is a fictional character. DNA will prove nothing beyond 10 generations and who is to say its any good after 4 generations. Life is full of stories and myths as life itself is still a mystery. So the people who said Richard was married to Rebecca Marbury fabricated it more that 100 years ago. You may as well call those deceased people liars since they wrote it in their books. People are full of B.S. and it has spread across the whole world. We will never know everything about everyone. That's life.
