Biography
Mehitable Wilder was born about 1661 to Edward and Elizabeth Eames Wilder at Hingham[1](Mehitable is another biblical name [original spelling Mehetabel] which means “Favoured by God”.) She was married in 1692 to Joseph Warren,[2]a grandson of Richard Warren that had sailed on the Mayflower.
Joseph died in 1696 leaving Mehitable a young widow...Mehitable after the death of her husband returned to Hingham and there came under the charge of being a witch, but was saved from the usual consequences of the unjust accusation by the interposition of some sixty of her neighbours..."[3]

Wilder-339 and Wilder-106 appear to represent the same person because: Wilder-339 was initiated by a GEDCOM import. There is no real data and no manager. The missing information in Wilder-339 is supplied by Wilder-106.
