Mary married Isaac Easty, a well-to-do farmer born in England, around 1655 - 1658. They had eleven children, seven alive in 1692. They lived in Topsfield, rather than either Salem Town or Village.

It was during this period that Lake decided to change her name to Connie Carter, hoping to distance herself from the scandals surrounding her personal life. Three years later, in 1948, Lake married her third husband, Robert Carleton-Munro. However, their marriage also ended in divorce in 1950. Lake began to experience difficulties in her acting career, struggling to find work and battling alcoholism. One of the saddest chapters in Lake's life unfolded in 1962 when she married Joseph Allan McCarthy, a railroad engineer. McCarthy turned out to be an abusive husband, and Lake suffered both physically and mentally during their short-lived marriage. She eventually filed for divorce in 1966, escaping the clutches of her tormentor. This tumultuous period marked the decline of Lake's acting career, and she struggled with financial difficulties. She made a few television appearances, but her star power had diminished significantly. Veronica Lake's life took a tragic turn when she passed away on July 7, 1973, at the age of 50. She died due to hepatitis and acute renal failure brought on by her struggles with alcoholism. Despite the challenges she faced in her personal life, Veronica Lake's influence on Hollywood cannot be denied. Her iconic hairstyle and sultry on-screen presence left a lasting legacy in the film industry. Lake's turbulent marriages and struggles with addiction serve as a reminder that fame does not always come with happiness and fulfillment..
