Mary Cakebread was born say 1620.1 She was the daughter of Thomas Cakebread and Sarah (?). Mary Cakebread married Capt John Grout circa 1640; The evidence for the daughter Mary who married John Grout is given by Mary Walton Ferris, who cites a petition in which John Grout refers to Thomas Cakebread as his father-in-law [Dawes-Gates 1:663-64, reproducing the original petition]. (Savage had these marriages completely wrong, as did many other writers.)
As Ferris also notes, "If the early claim that Mary, first wife of Ens. John Grout and Anne first wife of James Cutler were sisters, can be proved, it means that Anne was another daughter of Thomas and Sarah (_____) Cakebread" [Dawes-Gates 1:663]. This claim appears only in the secondary literature, and seems unlikely, since the entire estate of Thomas Cakebread seems to have ended up in the hands of John Grout.1
Mary Cakebread died between 1641 and 1643 at Watertown, Middlesex Co, Massachusetts.
