The following was supplied in an e-mail to me by Lora Cline, which seems to have 
been copied from a Rand Corp. employee's genealogy website:

Les Seigneurs de Bohon
(The Noblemen of Bohun)

The following material is excerpted from Les Seigneurs de Bohon by Jean LeMelletier, 
Coutances: Arnaud-Bellee, 1978. This was translated from French to English by a 
friend. The book was found at UCLA's Research Library as CS 439 D416L45 1978.

THE ORIGINS

Following tradition, the Mary family lived in the community of St. Come du Mont 
(Normandy). There was a Mary Street named after Ralph, first sire de Mary, friend of 
the sire of Sainte Marie du Mont and the dukes of Denmark in our country. According 
to legend, Ralph was secretly married to the daughter of the lord of Mont Haguez. 
They had a son, Richard I de Mary, or Richard the Old, who is attributed with the 
founding of the churches of Sainte Come du Mont, de Bohon, and de Meautis in 950. 
Richard de Mary (Mari or Meri) married Billeheude (Billeheust). This information comes 
from a document concerning the Bohon priory. Billeheude is sometimes considered the 
daughter of a certain Richard de Billeheust or Richard de Saint Sauveur. In the family 
we find a Bileud or Bilelde, but at a later date she is considered the daughter of Neel 
II of Saint Saveur, one of the principal barons who revolted against William the 
Bastard during his youth. Because of the uncertain relations with the Norsemen who 
landed at Contentin and their chief, Rollo, there was a strong desire to unite the 
conquering and native peoples. The Mary family also desired to hold onto their 
Christian origins and remain loyal to the dukes of Normandy. Richard de Mary had 
three sons: Richard, Humphrey, and Enjuger.
