Narrative

r161 GOVERNOR THOMAS PRENCE'S WIDOW. The identity of Mary, thewidow of Governor Thomas Prence, has long been a disputedquestion and it will be very gratifying to his numerousdescendants to learn that Miss E. F. Elliot, of Somerville,Mass., has discovered conclusive documentary evidence that Mary,the widow of Thomas Howes of Yarmouth afterwards marriedGovernor Prence and survived him. Governor Prence, therefore,had at least three wives, Patience Brewster, the daughter ofElder William Brewster, Mary Collier, the daughter of WilliamCollier. of Duxbury, and Mary , the widow of Thomas Howes ofYarmouth. There are also other records which cannot besatisfactorily explained except on the supposition that therewas still another marriage, prior to the marriage to Mary (_)Howes.
