Mary was born in England, exact location unknown. Her parents are unknown. It has been speculated that she was the daughter of Bygod Eggleston of Windsor, baptised in Norwich in 1614, but that is unlikely for several reasons. It is known that she married Edward Sanderson on October 16, 1645 in Watertown, Massachusetts. Bigod's daughter born in 1614 would have been over 30 by that time. Also, Bigod did not name her or any of her children in his will, and the Egglestons of Windsor had no known connection with Watertown, which was a long way from Windsor in those days.

Mary and Edward had five childen, all born in Watertown. In 1654, Edward sold his land and home in Watertown to William Shattuck and moved with his family to Cambridge. Edward is supposed to have died in Cambridge in 1680. However, some genealogists say he died on September 1, 1674. The record of the death of Mary has not been found, but she was probably given assistance in Watertown in 1687.
