Samuel Curtis Sr. (1645?-1688) is currently shown as being married to a Sarah Salmon.  But as I noted in a comment on his wikitree page (earlier this year), he was perhaps married to a Sarah Tower ( https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tower-2948 ).   Is there any good evidence for who his wife Sarah was?

Joseph Edwards died in Wethersfield on 10 December 1681, leaving widow Sarah and five children aged ten and under. Sarah married there secondly, on 20 February 1683, Samuel Curtis, born there on April 1646, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (—) Curtis.

Well that's a bummer. He has a marriage record 20 Feb 1683 (in the Barbour Collection) but they forgot to mention the brides name. For what it's worth the Curtis/Curtiss Society says it's Sarah Salmon daughter of William Salmon and Katherine (?), on 20 February 1683 at Wethersfield, They cite: Rose Mary Goodwin, A Family Named Curtis: Descendants of Thomas Curtis of Wethersfield, CT., 1598-1982, p. 2, 8
