• Notes

  Assuming Mary Read's birth date is correct, as it has several historical citations and no alternative date has been suggested, she would have been fourteen years old when she married nineteen-year-old Charles Morris, and she would have given birth to their son Charles at the age of fifteen. The minimum legal age for a woman to marry in colonial Massachusetts was twelve.
