Notes - Said to have been Mary Knowland, but this is evidently unproven.
Her last appearance in surviving Maryland records is on 20 Mar 1651/2, when she testified in the case of James Langworth and Robert Clarke, who were charged with the murder of Philip Anther. She testified that the pistol that killed Anther had misfired earlier that same day, when she jostled it while going about her daily chores. Both defendants were eventually acquitted.
