Marriage*14 November 1706She married first Pelatiah Whittemore, son of John Whittemore and Mary Miller, on 14 November 1706 in Kittery Point, York County, Maine.3,4,5 
Biographical Info*31 December 1723Margery's husband Pelatiah Whittemore was a brilliant young man who married into the leading family of Maine, and very early in life became an officer in the Army. He was the first Whittemore to be termed a "gentleman", and had every prospect of an eminently successful career. Instead, the records show that what happened is just one more instance of a promising life ruined by excessive drinking. In Pelatiah's case, it forced his lovely wife to leave him, taking their children and returning to her family in Kittery Point, Maine. The unfortunate Pelatiah remained in Boston where the court records show many lawsuits for debt against him. From a "gentleman" and "merchant", his last court case, on 31 December 1723, called him an "accountant", and he was sent to debtor's prison on complaint of a tavern-keeper.3

Residence*Mary and Honorable John Frost lived in New Castle, Rockingham County, New Hampshire.1,2 
Children*Madam Mary (Pepperell) Frost and the Honorable John Frost had seventeen children together, eleven of whom arrived at maturity.4,5 
(Wife) Death25 February 1732Mary became a widow when Honorable John Frost died on 25 February 1732.1,3 
Marriage*12 August 1745She married second, as his third wife, Reverend Benjamin Colman, son of William Colman and Elizabeth __?__, on 12 August 1745 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England). Their marriage ceremony was performed by Reverend Joseph Sewall.1,3 
(Wife) Will25 March 1747Calling her his most virtuous, loving and beloved wife, Mary Colman was named as a beneficiary in the will of her husband the Reverend Benjamin Colman dated 25 March 1747 in Boston. His will specified that their Marriage Articles he had agreed to be made good, and that at the end of two years after his death his Executors cause £500 more in Bills of Credit, old tenor, of the Province of Massachusetts Bay be paid to her. He instructed also that the pair of silver candlesticks with the fine snuff dish and snuff for it, which he gave her as a gift upon their marriage, be included within the £500. He also gave gifts of £10 each to the sons and daughters of his beloved wife Mary in lieu of one of his rings.6 
(Widow) Codicil28 August 1747Mary's husband, the Reverend Benjamin Colman, wrote a codicil to his will on 28 August 1747 in Boston and died the next day before he could give it, as he had planned, to one of his Executors, John Phillips Esq. of Boston, described as a worthy Deacon of the Church in Brattle Street. The codicil first confirmed his will and testament in its entirety, except for the addition written in the codicil which stated that if either his honored friend John Phillips, Esq. or his beloved nephew Benjamin Colman of Boston, merchant, were to take upon them the trust and trouble of Executor to his will with the necessary care of the education of his grandson John Dennie, that £200 out of his estate should be allowed to him for the care and his great kindness. The codicil was not witnessed.

From a letter written on 7 Sep 1747 by Benjamin's widow Mary Colman and included in the probate packet, we learned that Benjamin had completed writing his codicil in the evening, and put it in his desk drawer for the night. Mary wrote in her letter to Judge Edward Hutchinson that Benjamin had told her he was thinking possibly of adding something more, and would complete it in the morning and then deliver it to Deacon John Phillips. Her letter stated that, between the hours of three and five in the morning of the 29th August, her dear husband, Dr. Benjamin Colman, told her that if he didn't have the opportunity to finish it, she should submit it to the court and that the court would be able to tell it was written in Benjamin's own hand and signed with his signature.6 
(Wife) Death29 August 1747Mary became a widow for the second time when Reverend Benjamin Colman died on 29 August 1747.7

Marriage*16 March 1723He married Mary Hirst, daughter of Grove Hirst and Elizabeth Sewall, on 16 March 1723.3 
King George's War*15 March 1744 France declared war on 15 March 1744 and England two weeks later. Throughout that year it was a general subject for conversation that Louisburg must be captured from the French; that alone would mean safety to trade and navigation. It was thought that four thousand men, with such a fleet as could be raised by the Provinces, would be able to compel a surrender of the place. Finally it was agreed to make the effort. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Connecticut contributed armed vessels, and Edward Tyng who commanded a small frigate of twenty-four guns was made Commodore. The whole number of armed vessels was fourteen; the armed vessels and transports one hundred. In troops, Massachusetts contributed 3,250, Rhode Island 300 and Connecticut 500. Governor Shirley appointed, as Commander of the expedition, Colonel William Pepperell who, after some hesitation, was prevailed upon to accept. He advanced £5,000 to the Province from his own fortune and used all of his influence to make the expedition successful. This command gave Colonel Pepperell the title of Lieutenant-General Pepperell.

The first troops sailed on 24 Mar 1745 and their work was so well done that news of the conquest was received in July. The victory was celebrated in Boston, New York and Philadelphia.3 
Baronet Title* As a result of his success at Louisburg, General Pepperell was created a Baronet of Great Britain, the first time the patent was ever conferred on a native of America. From then on hi was known as Sir William Pepperell.3 
Death*6 July 1759He died at his home in Kittery Point, Maine, on 6 July 1759 at age 63.3 
ObituarySeptember 1759 The following Sabbath, the Reverend Dr. Stevens preached the funeral discourse and the Gentleman's Magazine of London for September 1759 contained the following notice (expanded from abbreviations) of his death: "Lieutenant General Sir William Pepperell Baronet, Colonel of the 52nd regiment of foot, at Boston in New England, aged 63. He was the youngest son of William Pepperell Esq. of the west of England. He was bred and principally employed in mercantile affairs, till 1745, when at the earnest desire of the Governor and council of that and the other provinces he undertook the chief command of the forces against Louisbourg which he reduced after a siege of 49 days, for which service he was created a baronet of Great Britain."3 
Baronet Title*His grandson William Pepperell Sparhawk inherited the title of Baronet and became known as Sir William Pepperell.3
