      Mary Wood: Death date is estimated only, based on birth of youngest daughter.
      "Mr. Jewt's wife was admitted to Rowley Church __ April 1695 ... Mary Chute was dismissed, 13 Oct 1706 from Rowley Church to the church in Byfield Parish (Church register, Rowley)."
      Numerous genealogical databases - too numerous to count - have married off our «u»Mary Wood «/u», wife of James Chute, to an Edward Ordway as a second marriage. The only problem with that second marriage is that it was recorded as having taken place in 12 DEC 1678, in Newbury. Our Mary Wood married our James Chute a mere five years earlier, in 10 NOV 1673. The original source appears to have been an IGI record.
      If this were true, the end result is that all of us who have descended from any of their children OTHER than Mary and Elizabeth, their two eldest children -- which would pretty much be all of us in the American and Canadian lines -- would not be Chutes at all, but Ordways. The fact that we're all here and have the surname "Chute" ought to be everyone's first clue that this reported Wood-Ordway marriage record isn't, as they say in the genealogy biz, "not even remotely supported". Our existances not being enough for some pickier genealogists, there are also records of "Mary Jewt" and not Ordway, changing churches in 1695, the birth of daughter Hannah Chute in 1700, and the fact that she died before he did. A second marriage would have been, well ... bigamous. If any of the two of them could have re-married, it would have been James, and not Mary, although there is no record that he did.
      At least one family «i»may«/i» have recorded the correct data. This would be the «u»Colby Family. <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~colby/colbyfam/d398.html>«/u» Their records record the following: "Mary WOOD was born on 31 OCT 1653 in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts. She died between 18 MAY 1699 and 14 JUN 1704. Daughter of Isaiah Wood and Mercy Thomson. She was married to Edward ORDWAY on 12 DEC 1678 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. Children were: Ann ORDWAY, Rachel ORDWAY, Joana ORDWAY, Jacob ORDWAY, Isaiah ORDWAY, Daniel ORDWAY." No record of what their sources were on that, but even without a source -- heck, even if they made it up out of thin air -- it's still more supportable than Edward Ordway having married «i»our«/i» Mary Wood in 1678.
