Defect 1

The daughter of Daniel Fisher Esther was born 1667, is unlikely to marry as a 5th wife a man born about 1630, then dying less than a year later in 1690 as what would be age 33. She is much more likely to the Esther Fisher who m. 1688 Thomas Fuller,himself b. 1662, she then living to 1747 when the daughter of Daniel would have been about 80. On the other hand, Esther Hunting, about the same age as Timothy Dwight, m. 1649 Nathaniel Fisher who d. 1676, leaving her a widow, was named Esther Fisher in father's will of 1684, and so IS very likely to be the person who married that Timothy Dwight as his 5th wife and died soon since she was about 60 or thereabouts in 1690. --Jrich 19:21, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
