Biography
Willett, child of Andrew Willett & Ann, was born on 6 Mar 1697/8 in North Kingstown, Kings, Rhode Island.[1]
Martha was mentioned on a memorial in Common Burying Ground, Newport, Newport County, Rhode Island, United States with a death date of 1 June 1779.[2]
Research Notes
VRs and findagrave show Ann Coddington as mother, so the duplicate profile is correct. Apparently, a different Andrew Willet married Susannah Holbrook and then Susannah Bushell, so those aren't shown to be Martha's parents. She appears to have borne a daughter named for her in 1734.

I completed the merge, but the profile needs a bit more editing, Possible some changes should be made as to the children might not be her offspring,

Willett-1859 and Willett-226 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth and death. The mother who doesn't match the B/R nor findagrave must be spouse of the different Andrew who married 2 Susannahs.
