Mary Cogan Ludlow was born 1604 in Chard, Somerset, England to Philobert Cogan (1563-1641) and Anne Marshall (1579-1650) and died 2 June 1664 Dublin, Ireland of unspecified causes. She married Roger Ludlow (1590-1664) 1624 in England.
Mary's husband, Roger Ludlow (1590-1664), was widely regarded as one of the best educated early settlers of the New England colonies. Mary was the sister-in-law of Governor John Endicott of Massachusetts.
The family sailed for America in 1630 with other early Puritan settlers on the ship Mary and John of which Roger was the owner. He was co-founder of Dorchester, Massachusetts and Fairfield, Connecticut. In 1650 he wrote down the first codification of the laws for the Colony of Connecticut and represented the colony at the New England Confederation. A political disagreement caused the couple to leave for Dublin, Ireland where both died in the 1660's, date unsure because local parish records were lost.
