  5.   Source:Leonard, Ermina Newton. Newton Genealogy, p. 40, matches Mary with John Bellows, 3d, rather than John Bellows, Jr., and gives Sarah Johnson the reverse pairing. This error was apparently taken from Source:Peck, Thomas Bellows. Bellows Genealogy or John Bellows, the Boy Emigrant of 1635 and His Descendants, p. 6. Source:Burrage, Henry Sweetser. Genealogical and Family History of the State of Maine, p. 3:1411, apparently saw some problems with this arrangement, so its suggestion was that John Bellows Jr., m. (2) 1721 Mary Wheeler who died soon as he m. (3) 1723 Sarah Johnson (unlikely since John Bellows Jr. was 57 years old in 1723, while John and Sarah proceeded to have 5 children over the next 8 years). Straightening this all out, Source:White, Almira Larkin. White Family Quarterly, Vol. 1, p. 74, reports that Mr. Peck wrote a letter, after his Bellows Genealogy was published, noting that the will of John Bellows, 3d, names his wife Sarah, showing that his pairing was backwards. A look at the relative birth dates and martial statuses of Mary (Hosmer) Wheeler and Sarah Johnson supports this reversal.
