Notes

Some Lathly: "Mary Lathly Widow" baptized July 6, 1718, and "Mary Rhoda Mercy & John 4 of ye children of Mary Lathly ... all [baptized]... July 13 [1718]" and "James Lathly... baptized July 20 1718" [Plymouth Church Records 1:3:34 in Pub.Col.Soc.Mass 22:218]. Members admitted: "ye Widow Mary Lathly .. July 6th [1718]" [ibid 22:219] Marriage Record [MD 14:39]: "Asa Beales to Rohoda Lathle Desember 8th 1720", intention in [MD 18:143]: "Ase Beale to Rhoda Lathle 1 Oct 1720". And in [MD 11:79]: "John Rouse of Little Compton alias of Marshfield & Anne Lathley of Sd Marshfield were married, June ye 29th Anno 1720". (Note that John and James are prime candidates for her father). Records of the First Church in Marshfield, Mass., contain record: [August 17 1717]: "The same day Anna and Margaret Lethlys were baptised, daughters of Philip leathly" [MD 31:122] <--- My guess is that this is her! Note: Marcy Lathley, dau. Philip and Mary (Bishop) Lathley, m. 1722 in Truro William Tilton. Note the Truro tie. If this is the same Philip as in the 1718 baptism record, then the 1718 baptism is almost certainly her. The widow Mary above may be widow Mary (Bishop) Lathley. A little more research is still needed, however. The Lathley surname seems to have died out before 1790, since there are no Lathley's in Massachusetts in that year. It is extremely rare before then as well, with the above records constituting the only such occurances in the town records printed in the Mayflower Descendant. The equating of Margaret Lathley who married John Lewis with Margaret the dau. of Philip Lathley is as yet unproven, but after searching, I am starting to become rather convinced.
