  3.   The two oft-mistaken sources: Source:Wheeler, Albert Gallatin. Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in America, p. 50, and Source:Reed, Jacob Whittemore. History of the Reed Family in Europe and America, p. 143, both say that Abner Wheeler married this Mary (though Wheeler adds "probably"). This marriage is found in Bedford VRs, and appears to be the only marriage of a Mary Reed that could possibly be this Mary. Bedford VRs appear to say that the wife of Abner d. 1847, aged 44, so born about 1803, or 10 years after this Mary. The generally more reliable Source:Brown, Abram English. History of the Town of Bedford, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, from Its Earliest Settlement to the Year of Our Lord, 1891, p. 27, however, says this Mary d. 1814, when she would have been 21, and before the marriage in question. Records found indicate that Brown is much closer to being right, that she died in 1815, so never married.
