Record of page 1-87, 1-141, & 1-223 all list her as wife. Either 87 or 223 must be wrong as she would be married to two men at the same time and having children for them both at the same time.

Not sure what the above refers to. We know that Eleazer Williams did marry a "Sarah Tilestone" since their marriage is recorded. We need proof of her parents. We do know that Stephen Williams did marry a Sarah Pason. Whether she was the widow of Jacob Payson, and if so, then who she was, remain to be shown.

NEHGR, p. 58:309, "Four Boston Families" by Victor Channing Sanborn, talks about Samuel Holbrook m. 1755 Elizabeth Williams, d/o Eleazer Williams of Roxbury by his wife Sarah, d/o Col. Thomas Tileston of Dorchester. But as the focus was on Holbrook, it is not clear how carefully he investigated Sarah Tileston and no evidence is given.

In an article "The Ancestry of the Princess of Wales", NEHGR, p. 136:334, Gary Boyd Roberts did not to identify the parents of Sarah Tileston, the wife of Eleazer Williams. She was listed as an ancestor of Woodrow Wilson.
