    Dummer, John, Esq., s. Richard and Elizabeth, July 19, 1735, a. 58 y. 11 m. 11 d. (His 1st w. was d. Hon. Col. Pierce; 2d w. Mrs. Mercy Gardner of Haverhill, and his 3d w. d. Hon. Samuel Penhallow. By his last w., Mrs. Elizabeth Dummer, he had 2 chn. - none by the 1st 2.)
    [Birth calculates to about 8 Aug 1676. The introduction indicates that information in parentheses comes from the original, so presumably this list of wives was made by the town clerk.]

    John Dummer m. (1) 1704 Sarah Pierce, d/o Col. Pierce of Newbury, m. (2) Mrs. Mercy Gardner of Haverhill, m. (3) daughter of Hon. Samuel Penhallow, m. (4) Mrs. Elizabeth Dummer. He had two children (Katharine 1731, and John 1733) by last wife.
    [The last two wives seem to both refer to the same person. I believe the assertion of four wives is a misreading of the list attached to his death record in the Newbury VRs. In the second sentence, "last w." clearly refers to the last wife established in the previous sentence, else it would later have to say none by the 1st three had children.]
