    "The Richards Genealogy (Rev. Abner Morse, l86l) states on page 107 that Mary3 Richards, born at Dedham, Mass., 23 June 1675, daughter of John2 and Mary (Colburn) Richards, married at Dedham, 30 Sept. 1695, Boaz Browne of Stow, Mass. That statement is incorrect; as proved in Part I of this article, the Mary Richards who married Boaz Browne on the specified date was Mary (Fuller) Richards, second wife and widow of John2 Richards."
