      Biography
      Mary Steele was bp. Fairstead 7 May 1620, d/o George Steele. Generally it has been accepted that there was no further record of Mary Steele.[1]

      A 2006 article[2] names Mary as the probable Steele daughter who married Jarvis Mudge. Daughter Margery (bpt. 1612) would be the other choice but chronologically Mary fits better.

      An alternate explanation is that the George Steele daughter who married Jarvis Mudge was Rebecca, relict of Abraham Elsen, later married to Nathaniel Greensmith, except that George Steele did not mention a daughter Rebecca in his will.

      Martha Hannison was called granddaughter and Micah and Moses Mudge were named in George Steele's 1663 will, but a relationship was not named for the boys. The boys place in the will indicates they may also be grandchildren. It was speculated that Hannison was the married name of the granddaughter Martha.[3]

      An entry in the Journal of John Winthrop Jr.: "1 Jan 1668/9 Hinderson Eliz 6 y: daught of Hinderso[n] Scotchma[n] at 30 mile Iland hath constant looseness married Mary Mudge her sister kinswoma[n] of serg:Wat[s] wife ... "[4] We know that Sgt Watt's wife, Elizabeth, was a daughter of George Steele. Elizabeth Hinderson was the daughter of John Henryson and Martha his wife, leading to the conclusion that Mary Mudge and Martha Henryson were sisters.[2]

      Mary died before Dec 1649 when it is known that Jarvis had remarried the widow of Abraham Elsen.[2]

      Children of Jarvis Mudge and [Mary?] (Steele) Mudge -- order uncertain:[2]

      Moses Mudge b. c 1640 (aged 41 years or thereabouts on 7 Feb 1680/1; died about 1694 or 1695; m 1668 Elizabeth Weeden. 22 Jan 1683 Moses Mudge of Oyster Bay, "son and heir of Jarvis Mudge sometime of New London," conveyed his New London land to Christopher Christophers.
      Martha Mudge b. say 1642 (estimate based on age 21 at birth of first child. She m. by 20 Mar 1661/2 John Henryson. She was grandchild of George Steele in 1663; sister of Mary Mudge in Jan 1668/9" and "cousen" [niece] of widow Elizabeth (Steele) Watts in 1685.
      Micah Mudge b. say 1645 (estimate based on age 25 at marriage) d. "aged" between 17 March 1720/1 (will) and 14 Sep 1724 (inventory); m. Mary Alexander. May 1696, May 1697 and June 1709, Micah Mudge of Lebanon gave deeds to the land of "my father Jarvis Mudge deceased" to two men from New London.
      Mary Mudge, b. say 1657 "1 Jan 1668/9 Hinderson Eliz 6 y: daught of Hinderso[n] Scotchma[n] at 30 mile Iland hath constant looseness married Mary Mudge her sister kinswoma[n] of serg:Wat[s] wife ..."
