Wayne J. Domes, the researcher, has untangled a confusion. Mehitabel Hadley-23 married Isaac Vermilyea-10, s/o Isaac Vermilyea-8.

Isaac Vermilyea-10 is the first cousin of Abraham Vermilye-1, who married Mehitabel Betts b. 1727, m. 1745, d/o William Betts 1703-1773 and Rachel Smith b. 1707

Both Mehitabel Hadley and Mehitabel Betts are themselves related, thus the same first name used, and are related through Joseph Hadley-294 and his wife Mehitabel Tippett-355, d/o George Tibbetts-48 and his wife Mehitabel Betts-286, d/o William Betts-2506, who was the founder of the Betts family line of Lower Yonkers, NY.

Thus we have 2 male cousins who both married girls named Mehitabel, but they are not the same girl, but they are first cousins, once removed.
