4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

Mary Kent's parents are unknown.  It is possible that she was the daughter of Stephen Kent, and the granddaughter of another Stephen Kent who resided in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey. However, there are no records to prove this supposition.

She was probably born between 1722 and 1726, since she had her first child in 1745.  

Mary Kent married William Cutter in about 1744, probably in Middlesex County, New Jersey.  They had eight children born between 1745 and 1765, all in Woodbridge, New Jersey[1].

There are no death or burial records for Mary (Kent) Cutter.  It is likely that she is buried in the First Presbyterian Church Churchyard in Woodbridge near her husband, who died in 1780.

NOTE:  Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  I have extended this theme in 2017 to 208 Ancestors in 208 Weeks.
