I am confused...Did Nathaniel Burr marry Ann Laborie Wakeman as his second wife, or Hannah Goodyear Wakeman. Both are listed as his second wife in different parts of the profile.

These data show Sara Warde Burr dying on the same date as spouse Nathaniel Burr, I.e. 26 Feb 1712. They also show Nathaniel m2 widow Hannah Wakeman in 1698, 14 years before the death of wife 1. Perhaps it is more likely that Sarah died not in 1712, but rather prior to 1698?

Burr-249 and Burr-19 appear to represent the same person because: Anna was daughter of Sarah Ward -
