Jabez is recorded at Smithfield.
- Source:Spooner, Thomas. Memorial of William Spooner, 1637, p. 73, says Jabez, s/o John and Experience Wing, m. as her second husband Annah (Spooner) Tobey, widow of Jabez Tobey (William Tobey by other sources) probably abt. 1755. The overlap of names makes this very confusing. Given that this sources alledges that Annah Spooner had a Tobey child by her first husband in 1752, and a Wing child by her second husband in 1756, and that the Quaker records of Jabez's first marriage in 1746 clearly named his and his wife's parents, leaving no possibility of mistaken identity there, this would have to be a second marriage for him as well. I can find neither a record for the second marriage, nor a death record for the first wife. Without such primary records, the possibility of confusion is too great to accept this second marriage simply because it appears in print. Further, "Jabez and Anna" move to Smithfield, RI, almost immediately after their marriage, and have recorded there such a regular sequence of children (born 1747, 1750, 1752, 1754, 1756, 1758, 1760, 1763, 1765), that it is most unlikely that a death, mourning, courtship and second marriage could have been squeezed into the sequence in the putative timeframe.
