"A great deal of mystery revolves around the identities of William Mitchell's wives. Very little real information is available to support positive conclusions. The best explanation is presented by David Roper. Other researchers have stated that the first Martha was Martha Green, daughter of Thomas Greene and Martha Filmer. This is certainly in error, as this Martha was the wife of Charles Clay, William Clay's brother. Martha's sister Lucy was the wife of William's brother Henry."
