Research Notes:
reported, without probability, to have married a Wood [Ref: Sav-age FOSTER Reginald]

administration of his estate granted "1st mo 1649" to "Mary Wood, late wife to the aforesaid Daniell who is alowed to administer and to bring up the children the whole estate being left in hir hand for that end" [Ref: PeabodySH PEABODY p9]

legatee in the will of Reginald Foster of Ipswich, dated Apr 30 1680, and specified as "my daughter Mary, wife of ffrancis Paybody" [Ref: PeabodySH PEABODY p9]

Although Judge Savage expresses incredulity, and both the Foster and Peabody genealogists are extremely cautios on the point, there seems to be adequate proof that Daniel Wood's wife was Mary Foster, daughter of Renald Foster of Ipswich, and that after his death in 1649 she married Lieut. Francis Peabody: (a) Woods estate was administered by his widow for the benefit of their two children. (b) in 1680, Renald Foster mentions in his will "my daughter Mary wife of ffrancis Paybody." (c) in 1679 Hepsibay (Peabody) Rea, daughter of Lieut Francis and Mary Peabody, called Judith (Wood) Dorman "my sister" (d) Francis Peabody, in hiss will made in 1695/6, gave land to his "son-in-law" (stepson) Daniel Wood "in consideration of what I was obliged to do for him when come of age."
