    Benjamin Felton [#88], m. (1) Miss --- Rich, who lived only a few months.
    [Note: No basis for this statement is made, and the lack of specifics is suspicious. This reads like the first marriage shortly preceded the second marriage, which occurred sometime after 1773 when the second wife's first husband died. However, Benjamin would have been about 45 or more if that was so. Thus, it seems like this marriage might have been more about 1750 based on Benjamin's age. Did Benjamin go decades before remarrying, did the marriage last longer than indicated, or was this not his actual first marriage?]
