Notes for Mary Ball
After a dreadful childhood and youth in Watertown and Woburn, Mary was rescued by William and Martha Munroe of Cambridge Farms (later Lexington). When Martha died in 1672, Mary became the second Mrs Munroe and gave William ten children over the next two decades. Her beautiful stone was among the first placed in the new (now the Old) Lexington Burying Ground. The records of the Middlesex County Court circa 1672 provide details on her story.11
