MARY YOUNG STOVER died about 1734

Mary was the daughter of Rowland and Susanna Matthews Young and she married Dependence Stover.  Her father was a fisherman, her husband a ship builder.  Mary may have been born on the Isles of Shoals but moved to York, Maine, at the southern tip, when she was young.  She and Dependence were married there about 1701.

Mary and Dependence had about five children before he died in 1723.  He was probably quite a few years older than she was.  Mary then married John Wells.

Mary and Dependence's oldest daughter, Mary, married her first cousin and nephew of her father.  She was one of my grandmas.

In Maine in the eighteenth century, there were conflicts with the natives, and in 1712 Dependence was wounded in a battle during which another settler was killed.

Mary died about 1734 in Wells, Maine, in York County.
