After a bit of poking around, it looks like this is John's first wife: Ruth (Chamberlain) Fletcher, probably mother of John the younger. Nathaniel Chamberlain, mentioned below, was her father, and his estate was administered by wife Abigail in 1716. The estate was finally divided in 1723 after Abigail's death, under Benjamin Chamberlain (son, also noted on the guardianship papers previously mentioned) by which time Ruth was deceased, John was remarried. Voila. See Plymouth County Probate case #3727.
