I removed John Edwards as her husband and removed the Edwards children per the comment from Donna (Schultz) Mulvey.

This Mehitable Russell is wrong. The Mehitable Russell who married Jeremiah Wadsworth did not also marry John Edwards. The correct wife was born 19 Nov 1730 in Southampton New York died Nov 1815. Mehitable Russell Edwards is buried with her husband John Edwards. As such she did not marry twice, nor die in Connecticut.
