Evidence for second marriage
Here is the evidence to date that William, h. of Sarah Blaisdell, is also William, h. of Elizabeth Pettingell:
- Levi D. Jepson's death record lists his parents as Wm Jepson and Elizabeth Pettingell (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VZQV-FP3). Note that if Sarah Blaisdell had died shortly after the birth of Elizabeth and Mary, and William remarried soon thereafter, then Levi would have only really known his stepmother.
- At the 1850 census there lived, in Lewiston, William (a. 60), Elizabeth (a. 58) and Sarah N. (a. 15) Jepson (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M6VM-VF5). This Sarah could have been named in memory of Sarah Blaisdell.
- His cemetery transcription lists him as the husband of both women. This information probably doesn't come from his gravestone, but rather from a published local history, such as the History of Lewiston.
More conclusive sources undoubtedly exist.
