Person:Martha Lathrop (2)

Death of Martha

The Lo-Lathrop genealogy says that Martha married twice as noted on the Findagrave memorial. However the Charlestown vital records list the death of "Martha, dau. of Benim. Lawthrope & Martha his wife, d. Sept. 7, 1669." There is no record of another daughter by that name. If this Martha died in 1669, who was the wife John Goodwin and John Pearson?
