Unknown-454500 and Graves-11 do not represent the same person because: Rejected Matches of Mary Milbanke

Originally about 100 Rejected Matches, mostly ridiculous, marrying, having children and/or dying after her husband's second marriage when divorce was impossible in England. One example here removed.

I am in agreement with the comment below. Mary Graves Rice should be unlinked from Benjamin Graves and Mary (Hoar) Graves.

Benjamin and Mary (Hoar) Graves did have a daughter Mary, but she was born in 1668 in Concord, Massachusetts and died in 1712 in Dedham, Massachusetts. The daughter of Benjamin and Mary (Hoar) Graves married Joseph Ellis in 1688.

Thank you, Joann

Mary's birth surname appears to be Chamberlain; Graves is the name of her first husband, John:
