Research Notes

A researcher had previously stated that Mehitabel was alive when her husband's estate was probated in 1749 in Marlborough, Massachusetts, but that Mehitabel was his second wife, Mehitabel Spring, widow Stimson.^[4] Mehitabel Warren died sometime between their youngest child's birth and Gershom's December 1729 remarriage, although her exact date of death and gravesite are unknown.

Note that FindAGrave has a memorial page for her which includes the incorrect date of death. There is no gravesite photo because it is unknown.
