"Benjamin (Osborn) … m (1) 28 Apr 1771 (church record, First Congregational Society, New Haven) Chloe Wheaton, …"
The identification of this Chloe Wheaton as the first wife of Benjamin Osborn is not proven but is considered highly probable based on the following: (1) She is the only Chloe Wheaton named in any published Connecticut Vital Record; (2) Her date of birth is consistent with her age at death as recorded in the records of the First Congregational Society, New Haven; (3) Branford, her place of birth, is close to New Haven, where Benjamin Osborn married one Chloe Wheaton in 1771.
