  2. Note: this doesn't quite make sense; claims that Prudence's first husband died a year before her marriage to her third husband, squeezing in a second husband in a year period. Double check original records.

Death date is unknown. Published date in records is incorrectly stated as the same as Ezekiel, his son.

Inconsistent dates in profile. Year of death of 1725 is before some of the marriage dates.
