↑ The best coverage found seems to be a Find A Grave memorial that has no picture and no sources, but seems to be the only source that is aware of the 2nd marriage to match what Aholiab's will says. (Most seem content to copy the very incomplete coverage found in Source:Wilder, Moses Hale. Book of the Wilders : A Contribution to the History of the Wilders from 1497, in England, to the Emigration of Martha, a Widow,,p. 283.) The memorial indicates the wife's name is Elizabeth Felton, but that has not been verified, and it is specified as Elizabeth Rice in the intention. It is certainly possible she was a widow, but more research is necessary.
