Marriage
Children
"Andrew Mansfield was married three times. His first wife was Bethiah, who he married about 1650. Andrew and Bethiah had eight children, all were born in Lynn. Bethiah died July 2, 1672. Her maiden name might have been Gedney (Lynn Historical Register 1913), or Townsend (Warner-Harrington Genealogy)."
"Many sources give Bethiah's last name as Gedney, with a birthdate of 27 October 1629 in Salem and a father of John Gedney. It is true that John Gedney did not mention a daughter Bethiah or her children in his wil of 1684. That does not mean that she couldn't have been his daughter. In 1684, Bethiah had been dead for twelve years, and her children were all grown, so there is no reason for him to have mentioned them."
