Was this the ship that carried Puritans, including the regicides Edward Whalley and William Goffe, from Gravesend to Boston- departed 5/14, arrived July 27, 1660?

Sorry, that's a different Prudent Mary. This one was burnt as a fireship in 1673.
There was a Prudent Mary in EIC service 1682-88 that would be a better candidate, but it's not on Three Decks yet.

I recently obtained the Will of James Watson 1692 a mariner and relative of mine. (Court of Canterbury)
He is about to sail to East India in the Prudent Mary in the service of the East India Company. He state the Captain to be Captain LAKE
