Simon Dakin III married Rebecca PERRY, not Purdy. She predeceased him and he must have married again as he mentions his wife, Deborah, in his will.
Simon Sr's wife, Elizabeth Brooks Dakin, died after 1739 when she was named executrix in her husband's will.
Huldah Worcester married Simon Dakin II in 1719. Hulda Cheney Worcester, her mother, could not have been married to Simon Sr in 1718 as he was married to Elizabeth Brooks at that time.
