WILDER, Abagail of Lancaster and John Ball, April 22, 1761.
[Note: the Lancaster record is in a chronological list submitted by the minister and in particular, precedes a marriage in March 1761. The Westborough record is alphabetized so relies solely on the correct interpretation and transcription of the original record to be correct. Removed from the added confirmation of an ordered list that the Lancaster record possesses, it seems more likely to be in error. Further, a marriage in April would seem like an excessive wait after publishing intentions in October.]
