Matthew Gannett (neither noted as Sr nor Jr) and Mary Bacon were married 20 Sep 1708.

Mary, the wife of Matthew Gannett (neither Sr nor Jr mentioned), died 9 Apr 1713 according to town records, or 9 Jun 1713 according to her gravestone, age either 35 or 33. (That fits the birth of Mary Bacon, wife of Matthew Gannet Sr., but is off by several years to be Mary Chapin, wife of Matthew Gannet Jr.) As Matthew Gannett Sr. had children aftet the death of this Mary, yet their mother’s name was Mary, that means he married a second Mary.
On 20 Sep 1708 when Mary was 31, she married Matthew Gannett, son of Matthew Gannett (ca 1652-9 Feb 1703) & Mary, in Scituate, MA.52 Born in Apr 1685 in Scituate, MA.52 Matthew died in Cohasset, MA on 9 Jul 1736.52,507 Buried in Groveland Cemetery, North Scituate.

The multitude of Matthew Gannetts in Scituate is confusing.

A Matthew Gannet Jr of Scituate was charged in Dec 1701 “to have gotten with child by fornication Mary Bacon” of Hingham. It appears that in 1701 this Matthew Gannett, age 16, was the second oldest living Matthew Gannet in Scituate, his father being the eldest. His cousin Matthew, son of Joseph, was age 13 at that time.

In Jun 1702 Mary Bacon was fined for “having a bastard child lately begotten and born of her body by fornication”, and Matthew Gannett Jr. was ordered to pay maintenance on bastard child of Mary Bacon of Hingham. Matthew Gannett married Mary Bacon seven years later in 1708.

After Matthew’s father died in 1703, he would have been promoted to Matthew Sr, while his cousin Matthew, three years younger, would have been promoted to Matthew Jr. Apparently both Matthews married women named Mary. This Matthew married Mary Bacon, then Mary Neal, while his cousin married Mary Chapin.

Matthew died in his 53d year.52,507
