    'A number of writers have asserted that immigrant Richard married a daughter of Edmund Henchman, but evidence for this is lacking.'
    'RICHARD HILDRETH, ... married second by 1646 ELIZABETH _____, born about 1625, buried in Malden, Mass., where she died 3 August 1693, aged 68 years [citing her gravestone].'

    According to the International Genealogical Index, Edmund and Elizabeth Hinchman's daughter Elizabeth was baptized 13 Jul 1634, and according to the Ancestral File and other compilers, she probably married George Vaughn. There also appears to be no evidence for Richard's wife being the daughter of any other Hinchman family, as some compilers have speculated.
