    'He married second, at Rehoboth, 22 Apr. 1692, Waitsill , widow of Joseph Sabin. He died at Rehoboth, 11 Jan. 1717/8, and his widow died there 5 Nov. 1718.'

  3. See the talk page for a discussion/questioning of Snow as her maiden name. She is not shown as a member of the family of Nicholas Snow in Great Migration Begins, and Jacobus in his TAG articleS2 gives her maiden name as unknown, suggesting there is no real evidence that her surname is Snow. Source:Morris, Gordon Alan. William Sabin and His Descendants, 1609 - 2000, p. 12: "The surname of Waitstill has not been discovered. Some have offered their opinion that it was Snow and that her parents were Nicholas and Constance (Hopkins) Snow, but this has been disproved and it is only mentioned to dissuade others from making the same mistake." [While this may very well be a true statement, it is too bad the proof is not detailed, since we are left just as much in the dark, as when we see sources that assert this positively without proof. Further, it is not intuitively clear how the author can say the Snow theory is disproved without knowing what Waitstill's actual maiden name is?]
  4. Birth year estimated based on first marriage (1673) and date of birth of last child (1696) - putting her at about 19 at marriage and about 42 at birth of last child.
