Ebeneazer Mead II was married to Hannah (Brown) Mead (1691 - 1746) until her death, which means he could not have married Ruth (Reynolds) Mead on 16 Jul 1735 because Hannah was still living and Ruth died before Hannah. So with further research, Ruth Rebecca (Knapp) Reynolds, (her first husband being John Reynolds), is listed as the second wife of Ebeneazer Mead I, (the father of Ebeneazer Mead II). Married on 16 July 1735 in Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut Colony, Thank you.
