↑ Note: Source:Wheeler, Albert Gallatin. Genealogical and Encyclopedic History of the Wheeler Family in America has no mention of a second marriage for Benjamin, but her gravestone clearly identifies Lucy as the wife of Benjamin. Source:Wheeler Families of Old Concord, Massachusetts says Benjamin Wheeler m. (2) 27 Nov 1753 Lucy Winship, d/o Moses and Lucy Winship, who d. 28 Dec 1777 (on both website and the original manuscript). The death date is off by 10 years, and it could not have been the daughter (of a couple married in 1746!) who married Benjamin in 1753, but must have been the widow. The wife of Moses Winship was Lucy Hastings, correctly identified by the Find-A-Grave memorial for Benjamin Wheeler's wife that is cited on her page.
