[Note: this older articles "corrects" a more recent article (TAG, p. 50:102), the newer one showing David marrying both Silence French and Elizabeth Dwelley. This older article presents several facts showing David and Silence were still married at the time of the second marriage, indicating it was another David House that married Elizabeth Dwelley. However, this older article does not identify parents of the David that married Silence French. That is explained by a separate note based on this source and other information.]
