WOODART, Robart and Deliverance Dammon, Jan. 20, 1742-3.
At least one source (Source:Draper, James. History of Spencer, Massachusetts, from Its Earliest Settlement to the Year 1860, p. 126) appears to assume Deliverance was an unrecorded daughter of Daniel (i.e., "sister to Capt. Elijah Demond") and not the widow of Daniel, probably based on the births of the children after the marriage to Robert Woodward (exacerbated by erroneously having the birth of Phebe in 1758 instead of the correct 1748). But the probate documents of Joshua Reed and Daniel Damon seem to make it clear she was the widow, being age 40 in 1748 when the last child, Phebe, was born.
