And if anyone is like me and thinking "wait, there are more Marys than that", the above comment specifies "in the gospels".
Mary mother of [John] Mark is in Acts, and Mary of Rome is in Romans.
It's generally assumed that "the other Mary" is one of the many above. It is widely, but not universally, assumed that the two "Mary and Martha" stories refer to the same people. Some traditions say that Salome was yet another Mary, but this seems poorly founded.
