I think Mary Eliot immigrated with her brother Phillip and his wife Elizabeth and their children. I beleive that she is Child Marie 13 listed under the family members traveling with Phillip Eliot.

(See passenger list on arrival date 1635) Mary's mother died with-in days of giving birth to her, probably from "child bed fever"

and her father died a little over a year later. It stands to reason that 18 month old baby Mary would have gone to live with one of her brothers or sisters after her fathers death (or all the siblings may have just remained in their parents home after the parents died.) Oldest child of Bennett and Letteye Eliot was Sarah, who married William Curtis 6 Aug 1618, and immigrated with him and their children aboard the Lyon in 1632).

Phillip was the second oldest and he married Elizabeth and had three daughters according to research by Carol Clark Johnson. The daughters were; Elizabeth, b. 8 Apr 1627; Sarah, b. 25 Jan 1629; and Lydia, b. 12 Jun 1631. On the passenger list we see that Phillip is listed as the Primary Immigrant traveling with the following family members: With wife 30; Child Elizabeth 8; Child Sarah 6; Child Lydia 4; Child Philip 2; Child Marie 13.

I believe that Child Marie 13 is Phillip's sister Mary. In Carol Clark Johnson's book, she lists Phillip and Elizabeth's oldest child as Elizabeth born 8 April 1627. There is no mention of a child Mary or Marie, however Mary is the youngest child of Phillips father, and her date of birth was 1620. This leads me to believe that Child Marie 13 on the passenger list under family members traveling with Phillip and Elizabeth Eliot is indeed his youngest sister Mary.

In Carol Clark Johnson's book she does not mention son Phillip, however he is listed on the passenger list as Child Phillip 2, which would mean that he was born abt 1633.
