Nathaniel Clapp m. 1 Jan 1740 Sarah Howe, "then about 18 years of age", who outlived him "more than forty-six years, and died Nov. 2, 1796".
Perley, M.V.B. "Abraham Howe and Some of His Descendants" in Essex Antiquarian, Vol. 56, p. 53, says Sarah d. young (1724), but the death record for the date specified, 22 Sep 1724, is for Sarah, wife of Abraham How. Clearly a different person.
