  • Name Mary DOLLING  [1
    • Mrs. Mary Gookin, Daniel's wife and his faithful companion for almost forty-four years, passed away on Saturday, October 27, 1683, leaving his home desolate. It is greatly to be regretted by her descendants that no contemporary account of Mary has been handed down to our time. All we can know of her is that she was a pious, godly woman, and the worthy helpmeet of one of the noblest and purest of men. The one mention of her that Daniel makes in his writings shows her assisting him in ministering to the sick among the Natick Indians after their release from Deer Island. She was the mother of all of his children, nine in number.
