| Notes |
- Daughter of Thomas Merwin of Amersham, Buckinghamshire. Circumstantial evidence of her parentage is provided by the will of Anthony Merwin, yeoman, of Clewer, Berkshire, dated 7 Mar 1633/4, in which Mary's second husband, Humphrey Collins, was named overseer and called "loving friend." Anthony Merwin also left a bequest of 20 shillings each to two of Mary's younger children, John and Sarah Tinker. As Mary Collins, wife of second husband Humphrey Collins, she witnessed this will
Following the death of her second husband, Mary Collins came to New England, probably in the company of her son, John Tinker. Although there is no record of her arrival in the New World, there is a possibility that she sailed on the same ship as John Hawthorne and William Knight, both of Berkshire, who arrived in New England about 1636. She probably lived first at Dorchester, Massachusetts, where two of her daughters were living. Around 1640, Mary Collins, her son, John Tinker, and several of her married daughters, all moved to the newly founded town of Windsor, Connecticut, where they were among the first residents granted land. Mary's homelot in Windsor was a four-acre tract on the east side of the Rivulet or Farmington River, bounded by the homelots of Thomas Bascombe and Nicholas Sension. Sometime about 1648 Mary Collins sold her homeless in Windsor to James Eno. Her subsequent history is unknown and no record of her death has been found. [3, 4]
