   In a note titled "The Second Wife of Joseph Loomis of Windsor, Conn.," Elisha S. Loomis presents an argument for Joseph Loomis's second wife being Mary Sherwood, not Mary Chauncey as had been stated 'for many years.'
   'Careful search, ... shows that Joseph Loomis married 28 June 1659 Mary Sherwood, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Fitch) Sherwood.'
   (Note that on page 303 of the same volume, Donald Lines Jacobus challenges the maiden name of Mary (Fitch) Sherwood.)

   'It has been stated many times that Joseph Loomis, son of Joseph and Mary (White) Loomis, married as his second wife Mary Chauncey. However, the contributor of this article has never found documentary proof for this statement.
   On page 39 of "Some Early Records and Documents of and relative to the Town of Windsor, Conn., 1639-1703," being a true copy of the private vital records kept by Matthew Grant of Windsor and published by the Hartford Historical Society in 1930, is this record "Josep lomis mared Mary Sharwod June 28, 1659."
   A Mary Sherwood, born about 1639, the daughter of Thomas Sherwood by his second wife, Mary Fitch, had brothers Stephen, Matthew, and Isaac. The Mary Sherwood who married Joseph Loomis named three of her sons Stephen, Matthew, and Isaac.'
