   'The name of the former wife [of John Adsit] is unknown but she appears to have had at the date of execution of the will [of John Adsit] more than one child still living, and perhaps even more than two in all. Of her children, however, we know only the name of her son George who was surely still living in 1734/5.'

   'Now if Mr. [Newman Ward] Adsit is right in identifying the two Johns [husband of Sarah Hayward/Howard and the man who died at Lyme in 1735] as one and the same man, then he is wrong in making Sarah Howard also the mother of George, since the probate of the estates of her two sons [John and Samuel] preclude the possibility that they had any surviving brothers. We therefore must posit another marriage for the testator of Lyme besides the one to Sarah and to Mary -----, most probably between them.'
