Research Notes

Issue - One or two wives.

• LNAB of second wife Mary ? Unk/Hibard/Hebard; may have been the widow of a Robert Hibard/Hebard of Windham. ]
• From discussion on second wife's profile - Before anyone points out the obvious: A. G. Hibbard (Genealogy of the Hibbard Family) says that Mary (Walden) Hibbard d. 7 March 1736. This is incorrect, as is the date itself. That Mary was Mary Reed, the wife of Robert, son of Robert and Mary (Walden) Hibbard: 'The above named Robert Hibard dyed June: 26: 1742 / Mary his wife Died March 7th 1763'
