"He (Otto) married (1) LYDIA LEDETHER in in Surry Co. Virginia. She was born Abt. 1692 in Surry, Virginia, and died 20 October 1759 in Brunswick Co. Virginia. He married (2) SARAH BONNEWELL Abt. 1694 in Accomack Co. Virginia, daughter of JAMES BONNEWELL and MARY WATSON. She was born in Accomack, Virginia, and died Abt. 1800 in Accomack, Virginia."
-- If Lydia Ledether Wise lived to 1759, then she outlived her husband and should be mentioned in his will. But the wife named in Accomack Otto's will is Sarah (see will info in comment below) -- If Sarah Bonnewell married Otto about 1694, then he was about 13 yrs old when he married. That's pretty young for a groom, even in colonial Tidewater, though not impossible. If Sarah was also 13, then she was born in 1681. She couldn't have died in 1800. Plus in 1694 she didn't have time to have a previous marriage to Mr. Brittingham and have four Brittingham children before her marriage to Otto William Wise.
The wife Sarah Wise of the will (see comment just below) appears to rule out a marriage to Lydia, who d. 1759. She also may not be Sarah Bonnewell, unless the 1694 marriage date is wrong. The Sarah in the will could be a later marriage to a widow with four children. Or it could be Sarah (Bonnewell) Brittingham, just not in 1694.
A copy of the Accomack will was entered into the Worcester MD will books. It shows:

Because I found that same information in more than one place, I would say that it is most likely correct. Here is one place that you can look. - http://www.ghotes.net/descendants/descendants_of_john_wise.htm%7D Of course, any one can be wrong.
