"Some authorities state that after the death of Thomas Lord his widow married Nicholas Olmstead; others say that she became the third wife of Gregory Wolterton. The latter seems more probable, because court records of Hartford, Vol. II, page 69, indicate that on October 27, 1669, 'Administration was granted to Gregory Wolterton on the estate of Thomas Lord, deceased, according to the will of the deceased.'"[3] (Manwaring 1:137 gives this same reference as Vol. III page 69, with a date of 29 October, 1667.)

    THOMAS, Wethersfield, s[on]. of the preced[ing]. b[orn]. in Eng[land]. was a physician and surg[eon]. for whose serv[ice]. the Gen[eral].

He was also employ[ed]. as sch[ool].master; by w[ife]. Mary had Hannah, b[orn]. 1656; Mary, 1659; and prob[ably]. Sarah; beside Dorothy, the first b[orn]. 17 Aug. 1653.

    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 may have had a second wife, and her given name may have been Mary, she had no connection with Dr. Thomas Lord.

    The author presents evidence that she married Gregory Wolterton, who was granted administration on the estate of Thomas Lord in Oct 1669. She would have been his third wife, married and died sometime between Jan 1664/65 (the death of his second wife) and Jul 1674, when Gregory's will mentions his fourth wife, Jane.
