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

A brief sketch of this family (vital records only) was published in the book Royal Families: Americans of Royal and Noble Ancestry, Volume One: Governor Thomas Dudley and Descendants Through Five Generations, written by Marston Watson, Second Edition, Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, MD[1].

The best source for information on this family is from the book Jonathan Wade of Ipswich, Massachusetts, Revised Edition by Doris Powell Schultz, published by the author in 1989[2]

Mary Dolberry was born 13 April 1677 in Boston, the daughter of Thomas and Sarah (--?--) Dolberry[3].

Mary Dolberry married Jonathan Wade (1683-a1720) in about 1699 in probably Medford, Massachusetts[1-2]. He was the son of Nathaniel and Mercy (Bradstreet) Wade.  Jonathan and Mary had seven children, the first four were born in Medford, and the last three in Providence, Rhode Island:

*  Mercy Wade (1702-????), married 1722 Elisha Hopkins (1702-1798).
*  Jonathan Wade (1704-1739), married 1725 Mary Albert (1705-????).
*  Nathan Wade (1706-1778), married 1731 Deborah Hawkins (1713-1802).
*  Nathaniel Wade (1709-1754), married 1731 Ruth Hawkins (1711-1789).
*  Dorothy Wade (1711-????).
*  Rebecca Wade (1713-????).
*  Samuel Wade (1715-1788), married Martha Upham (1714-1785).

Jonathan and Mary (Dolberry) Wade resided in Medford until about 1710, and then moved to Providence, Rhode Island where the last three children were born.

Mary probably died before her husband, who died before 30 August 1720, probably in Connecticut.  There are no known death or burial records for her. There are no probate records for her in Massachusetts, Connecticut or Rhode Island.
