PEABODY, Priscilla [Mrs. int.], and Job Tiller, June 1, 1736.
Source:Brigham, Willard Irving Tyler. Tyler Genealogy, p. 45, identifies the wife as 18 year old Priscilla Peabody of Boxford. The only Priscilla Peabody found in the records, of Topsfield, was 15 in 1736, and the only other one in the records was the widow of Dea. Nathan Peabody who was clearly not 18. As Brigham points out, Job Tyler was 61 at the time, so it is not clear what the reasoning, if there was any, behind his pairing, as no children resulted from the marriage and the wife died before the husband, both suggesting it was an older woman. Instead it was the widow of Dea. Nathan Peabody.
