Second Generation

2. Mary Gabb baptized: 24 September 1662, Combs, Suffolk, married (1) 25 April 1693, in Combs, Suffolk, Edward Hoffey, born about 1665, buried: 13 April 1705, Combs, Suffolk, married (2) 1717, in Earl Stonham, Suffolk, John Write, born about 1660, buried: 26 August 1729, Earl Stonham, Suffolk. Mary buried: 26 August 1729, Earl Stonham, Suffolk. Was this the Mary Hoffey who married John Write (he was a widower) or was there a daughter named Mary, after her mother? There is no trace of a baptism for Mary Hoffey, and assuming that Edward I died in 1705, then it is a good assumption that Mary Hoffey, widow, married John Write in 1717 in Earl Stonham. Maybe that is how Edward, her son, met Martha Driver, nee Jennings.
