- Notes:
- The daughter, Elizabeth, married Lt. Thomas Patterson of the New Hampshire Militia. She knitted a pair of white stockings for him to wear at their wedding. Tradition has it that every male Patterson descended from Elizabeth and Thomas has worn those stockings at his wedding. In 1966 Robert R. Patterson, one of the descendants, was married in Whittier, New Hampshire, and wore the stockings at his wedding. The account of the wedding stated that he was a descendant of Ocean Born Mary and that the stockings are now on permanent loan to the New Hampshire Historical Society.
