Dorothy, daughter of Benjamin Whitcomb and Dorothy White only married Stephen Johnson and spent her life in Leominster, MA. The Dorothy married to Samuel Jones Jr is probably the Dorothy born in 1743 in Bolton MA. Not only does this Dorothy have a different birth date, birth location, and different parents; Stephen Johnson didn't die till after the marriage of Dorothy and Samuel. So it isn't likely that Dorothy dght of Benjamin and Dorothy. married a second time in 1797 before her first husband died aft 1799. Plus there is an overlap of children's birth dates between the 2 fathers. I have Dorothy, daughter of Benjamin Whitcomb and Dorothy White, Johnson died in Leominster 20 Nov 1804, source was a GED on RootsWeb

Whitcomb-2097 and Whitcomb-472 appear to represent the same person because: The death dates don't agree. Otherwise, it's a good match. (Read the biographies.)
