I am a bit confused. If Abigail died in 1735 how did she get married in 1761?

I thought it was generally agreed that the Abigail who married Edward Cox was the widow of James Hanks who died on 25 Dec 1756. Abigail Phillips & James Hanks were married on 30 Jun 1742. Edward Cox & James Hanks served together in the militia. Perhaps I read this on Rootsweb. I will try to provide sources.
