Mary (1George) Wyatt (Conjecture)
Mary was born in 1632 in Virginia. Her date of birth is set from deposition in Surry County Court on 5/15/1672 where she stated she was 40 years old.
In about 1655 in Virginia, Mary was wed to John Burgess b. c. 1630 in Virginia. John and Mary's lived their lives in Isle of Wight Co VA raising daughter, Susannah. But John died before 1669.
Mary wed again before 4/1669 in Surry Co VA to Richard Skinner b. 1626 in England. Mary and Richard are mentioned in Surry Co VA records having acknowledged receipt of daughter Susannah Burgess' legacy from her deceased father, John Burgess. Did Susannah surrender her inheritance to her mother to preclude her perspective husband confiscating her real estate? As the husband could legally assume ownership of his wife's property, this seems like an ingenious solution which would secure these holdings for Susannah. Richard died 1677 in Isle of Wight Co VA.
Mary wed again in 1680 Isle of Wight Co VA to John Collins b. c. 1625. Mary and John lived the remainder of their lives in Isle of Wight Co VA. John died before 2/1695 and Mary died sometime thereafter.
