Oct. 1, 1649 Susanna George (b. 1632, d. July 6, 1694); he d. May 17, 1707. His Will dated Jan. 1, 1704-5 "mentions his sons John, Daniel, Benjamin, Samuel, Thomas, Edward … and drs. Susanna Beers, Mary Bemis, Sarah Winship." Children list: "8. Mary, b. Jan. 12, 1663-4; m., about 1680, John Bemis. 14 chil. [Bemis, 17.]" Bemis entry: "JOHN BEMIS m. (1st), MARY HARRINGTON. [Harrington, 9.] She d. Sept 8, 1716." Matches mary-harrington-bemis: exact birth Jan. 12, 1663/4, death 1716-09-08 Watertown, husband john-bemis-bsb, mother of jonathan-bemis-bsb. CONFLICT with Draper (1900) who called her parents "George and Susanna Harrington": Bond's will excerpt and child list identify the father as Robert Harrington (Susanna's maiden name George). Bond's heading "Children of George and Susanna Harrington" appears to be a typographical slip for this Robert family (child #4 is George, killed 1675/6). Prefer Bond + will over Draper.
