As previously mentioned, we do not have Mary Osgood marrying a Quarterman; we have a different Mary Way doing that.
Robert Quarterman is named as one of five executors of the will of Rev. John Osgood, but he is explicitly referred to as a friend, in a will in which the precise relationship to each blood relation is spelled out; for example, two of the other executors are named as nephews.
It's not surprising that Robert Quarterman was a family friend, since, among other things, he was the brother of John Quarterman Jr., the then-deceased husband of Rev. Osgood's other daughter Sarah; John Jr. was the father of the two Osgood grandchildren John and William Quarterman, named in the will.
Robert Quarterman had a son by the other Mary Way. That son was named Robert, and is not named in Rev. Osgood's will as a grandson, even though Rev. Osgood names every one of his grandchildren (in the cases of John and William Quarterman, he names them twice), as well as two nephews and assorted other relatives. If Rev. Osgood's daughter Mary had married Robert Quarterman, it seems quite odd that he did not name Robert's son as his grandson, nor name him as a family member, rather than just as a friend.
What is your source for Mary Osgood marrying Robert Quarterman after marrying Joseph Parmenus Way?
