Excerpt from The Works of John Marston, Vol. 1 of 3: Reprinted From the Original Editions; With Notes, and Some Account of His Life and Writings Mary, daughter of the Rev. William Wilkes, Chaplain to James I., and Rector of St. Martin's, co. Wilts. Now Wood, in a notice of Wilkes, says that the latter died at Buford St. Martin, in Wiltshire, of which he was rector, leaving a daughter named Mary, who was married to John Marston of the city of Coventry, gentleman; which John, dying 25 June, 1634, was buried in the church belonging to the Temple in London, near to the body of John Marston his father, sometimes a Counsellor of the Middle Temple. The John Marston in the first notice, and the min-law of the King's Chaplain, are thus shown to be the same person. He is also the dramatic writer, unless mother link in the chain of evidence he unnecessarily regarded as a curious but possible coincidence. In Ben Jonson's Conversations with William Drummond, it is stated Marston wrott his father-in-lawes preachings, and his father-in law his commedies; which seems, observes Gifford, a humorous allusion to the sombre air of Marston's comedies, as contrasted with the cheerful tone l of his father-inchw's discourses.
