William Samuel or Benjamin Wickes

Notes:

It seems unclear which Wickes was Maplet's husband. He has been variously identified as William, Samuel, and Benjamin. (Genealogist Martha A. Benns says he was William; genealogist Gordon L. Remington says he was Benjamin, first cousin of Maplet. James N. Arnold's "Vital Record of RI" transcribes the Warwick records as "Maplet Wickes, widow of William." However, the official records have been known to contain clerical errors.)

If he was indeed first cousin to Maplet, I assume he was a son of Sarah (Gorton) Wickes.

William married Maplet Remington 16 Sep 1733, East Greenwich, RI. Maplet (daughter of Thomas REMINGTON, II and Maplet GORTON) was born 11 Jul 1712, Warwick, Kent Co., RI; died Aft 6 Feb 1772. [Group Sheet]
