    "3. Hester2 Edwards (John1), born in June 1641, was listed as aged 23 in her father's inventory on 27 December 1664. … Hester's death date is unrecorded, but it may have been before January 1679[/80?] when it appears [her husband John] Colt married, third, Lydia Fitch, daughter of Joseph Fitch."

    Dr. Harris subsequently demonstrated that Lydia Fitch did not marry John1 Colt but almost certainly married Robert Stedman. See Children of Captain Joseph1 and Mary (Stone) Fitch (1993) in The American Genealogist.
