    'HILLIARD, Benjamin (s. of Hugh, of Salem, Mass.), ... principal in a bail-bond in 1649, his step-father, Thos. Wright, being surety. Wright was his mother's third husband, her second one having been John Elsen, who d. 1648.'

    'Elsen, John, Wethersfield. Invt. ... Prysed the sixteenth of May, ...'
    The year is not given, but this record was taken from page 480, and page 479 indicates that the inventory of Abraham Elsen was taken 8 May, 1648 (Manwaring 1:7), so presumably the year was 1648.

    'Wethersfield Records, Vol. I, Page I. (1640) 16 March, 1641.
    Hillyard's Bond: This present writing witnesseth, that I, Benjamin Hillyard, of Wethersfield; ... being fined by the Cou(rt) ten pounds, ... my father-in-law, Tho Wright, begin bound for me for my good behavior in ten pounds, ... my father, Tho. Wright, ... that was given me by my father-in-law, John Elsen, in his last will & Testament, ...'

    'At a Court held 9 March 1647.
    The Inventories of John Elsen & Abrah Elsen are brought into Courte.' - presumably to be assigned to be taken, since both were taken in May 1648.

    In Hillyard's bond, the term father-in-law is taken to mean step-father.
    Assuming that John Elsen died 1648, the date of the bond must be incorrect. It must be March 1648/49 or later - History of Ancient Wethersfield (1:276) says 1649.
