No further record, but see comments, i.e., "Most sources claim that Elisha and William Hedges, sons of the immigrant William Hedges, married Mary and Elizabeth Sturges, daughters of Edward, but there is no direct evidence for this, and the known marriage of Mary Hedge to Samuel Sturges is sufficient to explain other association between the two families. These marriages are not, however, impossible."
