Miriam (?Merriam) Gates, b. abt 1711, m. (int.) 30 and 31 Mar 1744 [as 2nd wife] Josiah Wilder, named in will dated 1781.
[Note: appears to be named first in sister Mercy's will, so presumably oldest. This will only names (besides Mercy herself) the other three daughters presumed to belong the second wife. Torrey appears think her given name is based on her mother's maiden name.]
