There was a Mary Reed of Boston who married John
Venterman, May 9, 1710. She was doubtless a grand-

tain who were her parents. They had a daughter Mary,
who married in Boston to Burges Reed of Marblehead,
June 8, 1725. Their children were, — Mary, born May 12,
1726 ; Yenterman, baptized in Boston, at the Second Church,
