Jacobus did add an Additions and Corrections to his "Families of Ancient New Haven" Book III page 765. He believed her surname was Davis and not Wakeman or Russell. His explanation follows.
"It was formerly supposed that Helena or Ellen w. of Henry Glover was a Wakeman, but the English wills published in the Wakeman Genealogy make it clear that she was not. Prof. Dexter in New Haven Town Records, Vol. 2, p.9, suggested that she was a Russell, and this was followed in the text, but placed in brackets to indicate that it was hypothetical. It is perhaps more likely that she was sister of William Davis, who m. Martha Wakeman, and whose da. m. William Russell. The will of John Wakeman refers to his sister Davis and sister Glover. Martha Davis was his sister by blood and if Helena was sister of William Davis, that would make her the sister-in-law of John Wakeman's sister. Martha Davis names two of the Glover children in her will, and William Russell left his children to the care of Henry Glover and his wife.
