  • Notes  Married:
    • It's not clear if they got married in England or in Massachusetts. From "Historic New England":
      "Robert Pierce and Ann Grenway settled in Dorchester in the first wave of seventeenth-century emigration from England to America, but the circumstances of their arrival are ambiguous. Family legend weaves a tale of a shipboard romance between them on the “Mary and John,” a vessel in John Winthrop’s Massachusetts Bay Colony fleet, but the passenger list for that 1630 voyage does not include a Robert Pierce. John Grenway, a millwright, his wife Mary, and their daughter Ann, however, were passengers on the “Mary and John,” and the Grenways became active residents of the fledgling town."
