1416.11. Samuel Burpee [708] (1709 MA - 1791 MA) and Elizabeth Harris are direct ancestors, separate page.
1416.1. Jeremiah Burpee was born 27 Oct 1691 in Rowley (Essex) Massachusetts, and died 4 Feb 1722/23 in Rowley. He married 19 May 1714 in Rowley, Rebecca Jewett, daughter of Joseph Jewett (1654-1735) and Rebecca Law (1655-1729). Rebecca was born 24 Jul 1693 in Rowley (Essex) Massachusetts, and died 21 Jan 1777 in Bradford (Essex) Massachusetts. Her brother and nephew also married into our family (2838 Pearson). After Jeremiah died, Rebecca married John Pemberton.
Jeremiah and Rebecca had three children (first cousins to us):
1416.1.1. Mary Burpee was born 19 Mar 1716/17 in Rowley (Essex) Massachusetts, and died 21 Jun 1777 in Bradford, Massachusetts. She married twice, but there is some disagreement among sources as to the order. Mary probably married first, 6 May 1735, Nathan Ames. Nathan was born on 29 Oct 1716 in Boxford (Essex) Massachusetts and died before 1775. Mary probably married second, 22 May 1775, Timothy Hardy, son of Joseph Hardy (1674-1747) and Mary Burbank (1675-1762). Timothy was born 24 Aug 1705 in Bradford (Essex) Massachusetts, and died 27 Jun 1777 in Bradford. He had nine children from a previous marriage. Some sources have Nathan Ames as the second marriage, with Mary first married to Thomas Hardy instead of Timothy. I would think that there are errors in the Timothy/Thomas name added to errors in the order of marriage, but it is possible that Mary was married three times -- Thomas, Nathan, then Timothy. She would have to have married very young to squeeze in Thomas.
Mary and Nathan had ten children (second cousins to us):
