"… Who this second wife was we shall not probably be able to learn, save that her Christian name was Anna That she was the mother of all of his children born in this country is doubtless true.

He also gives the date of her marriage Feb. 17, 1687-8, which, as Mr. Lathrop had been dead over thirty years, could not have been. He also says that she died Feb. 25, 1687-8, which is possible."
