    [Note of Caution: Robert Charles Anderson in The Great Migration Begins II:1359, only gives Nicholas Olmstead a first wife (Sarah Loomis). Mrs. Ferris, Dawes-Gates II:615 mentions a second wife for Nicholas Olmstead, "one who is said to have been Mary, widow of Dr. Thomas Lord," but indicates, in a footnote, that "The widow of Dr. Thomas(2) Lord (Thomas(1)) was named Hannah, rather than Mary …"

    The Wolterton article (TAG 68:170-171) discusses Gregory Wolterton's marriage to Hannah (Thurston) Lord and does not even mention Nicholas Olmstead. The conclusion would seem to be that while Captain Nicholas Olmstead did have a second wife (mentioned, but not by name, in his will), and her given name may have been Mary, she had no connection with Dr. Thomas Lord.]
