    'Children with second wife, Elizabeth, surname HILDRETH: ...
    EPHRAIM, born say 1665; died in Westford, Mass., 5 April 1731 [footnote: Snow-Estes genealogy, 1:75, states this, although his death is not cited in the Westford vital records]; married first in Stow, Mass., 11 June 1685 [citing Stow Vital Records, 162] DOROTHY BARNES, died in Stow 17 June 1686 [citing Stow Vital Records, 249]; married second in Stow 8 October 1686 [citing Stow Vital Records, 163] ANNA MOORE, born in Lancaster, Mass., 17 May 1666 [citing Lancaster Vital Records, 11], died in Littleton about 8 April 1760, aged 95 years [footnote: Snow-Estes genealogy, 1:75, states this, although her death is not cited in the Littleton vital records].'

    NOTE: The two footnotes on Ephraim's and Anna's deaths are accidentally switched in the book - JB.

    There is no note to support Ephraim's estimated birth year. I have chosen to place him earlier in the family, assuming that he was born in the early days of Chelmsford, when the birth was less likely to have been recorded than later. If he was born about 1654, he would have been about a decade older than each of his wives, which is not unreasonable.
