Benjamin Coleburn & Elizebeth French both of Concord were marryed by ye Rever'nd mr Joseph Estabrooke June ye 6th, 1704.
↑ The History of Bedford, p. 111, erroneously identifies Benjamin's wife as Elizabeth Wooley, despite the obvious conflict with the recorded marriage. [Speculating: Possibly, this arises from confusion over the probate of Elizabeth's father Joseph French. Elizabeth's sister Rebecca who married Thomas Woolley, and possibly her share would have gone to various heirs named Woolley, and the author didn't recognize that Benjamin Colburn wife's share was her own, i.e., not connected to the Woolley's.]
