She is the second wife of Rev. Nicholas Baker and the mother of the majority of his children:
Samuel, Mary, John, Elizabeth, Nicholas, Sarah, Deborah and Nathaniel.
Mary is most likely born in England, I am actively researching her, so will update asap.

I am posting the following from contributor Neil #48924605 to not loose it while working through it.

Mary Hodges was the 2nd wife of Rev Nicholas Baker. She married him abt 1634 in Scituate. Daughter Margery was born in 1636. Mary Hodges wed him in 1637 and Widow Grace Dipple in 1662 in Highham. All the children are listed in the births of Scituate as belonging to mother Elizabeth Richards. Nathaniel Baker is found born abt 1654 in Hull, Mass. Margery Baker, Step-daughter of Mary Hodges died in 1657 in Scituate and Mary died on 23 Apr 1661. So the issue is who is actually the mother of these children? If Elizabeth Richards died after the birth of Margery and Mary Hodges is indeed the second wife of Rev Nicholas Baker then the death date of Mary of 23 April 1661 is correct and Mary is likely the mother. However, if the records showing Elizabeth Richards as mother is correct then whom is the Nicholas Baker who married Mary Hodges in 1637 because it would not have been Rev. Nicholas Baker who was the son of Nicholas Baker and his wife Frances Baker-Baker, who was the daughter of Thomas Baker and his wife Frances Ingram and sister of Francis Baker,, the Planter, and husband of Isabel Twining. IF Mary Hodges is indeed the first wife of Rev Nicholas Baker, then Why are her children listed as belonging to Elizabeth Richards and if Mary Hodges is the first wife of Rev Nicholas Baker then who is the Nicholas Baker who married Elizabeth Richards in 1634. A third issue is also is the father of these children, the correct Nicholas Baker.?
