    Corrects error from Vol. 1, p. 90, which show her m. 1765 Reuben Willis as his first of two wives named Sarah. Instead, this source gives her correct husband as Capt. Daniel Bowker, citing Middlesex Deeds p. 66:62. [Additionally, the supposed second wife is shown by her father Samuel's probate documents of 1768 to have been married to Reuben by that time, which combined with Reuben's recorded marriage to a Sarah Brigham in 1765, and children born to Reuben and Sarah in 1765, 1768, 1770 and beyond, strongly suggests there was only one marriage, to the other Sarah, and that this Sarah did not marry Reuben Willis. The original error was copied in the article on the Willis Family published in Source:NEHGR, p. 114:194 ("identity of Reuben Willis's wives rests on the Brigham genealogy".]
