Source:Bassett, William. History of the Town of Richmond, Cheshire County, New Hampshire : From Its First Settlement, to 1882, p. 301, gives the first wife three children, and the 2nd wife two, but this appears to be caused by assigning a daughter Elizabeth to both wives. This, in turn, appears to be a misreading of the town records, which only clearly shows one daughter Elizabeth, explicitly (mother specified) and implicitly (by birthdate) belonging to the second wife, but listed before the death record of Elizabeth.
