I am looking for the parents of Mary Gregory born in Oxford abt 1734. She married Abijah Gale on Sept 22, 1753 in Dorchester, MA (I beleive!). They lived in Oxford and had 7 children (Mary, Abijah, Jesse, etc.). I am at a dead end with Mary and her parentage. She may have come from the Watertown or Weston Gregory families or may have descended from the Connecticut Gregory family. I am fairly certain she was born in Oxford but can't remember my sources. Any help in tracing Mary's parents would be greatly appreciated.
