Mrs. Martha MacCallum:
A handful of sources claim that Martha's maiden name was Proctor. Likewise, those same sources estimate her birth between 1634 and 1637.
Find A Grave has a Martha Proctor [b. 1637 in Ipswich, MA] who married James White in 1672. Her parents: John Proctor and Martha Harper. Also noted is a death date of 14 Oct 1658 in Salem for Martha.
The death date comes from an entry on familysearch.org "Massachusetts Deaths and Burials 1795-1910" for Martha Prockter, daughter of John Prockter and Martha Giddens. This Martha has been assigned as Mrs. MacCallum, but she was born in 1658 and died the same year.
A forum post on the Scots Prisoners purports to have evidence that Martha was indeed a Proctor. I posted a request for the evidence. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
