Mary Spencer Weeks

Mary married Ezekiel Whitford 25 Mar 1754, West Greenwich, RI. Ezekiel (son of Nicholas WHITFORD and Mary CARR) was born 1713, North Kingstown, RI; died Apr 1754, West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Arnold's "Vital Record of RI" shows Mary Weeks as a widow, and says they were married by Samuel Hopkins, Justice. Craig Rice's online database shows Ezekiel with two wives, Ellen Spencer and Mary Spencer, and refers to a descendency shart showing Mary to be Mary Spencer Weeks. However, Craig's indicated date of marriage is not correct.

Ezekiel's will mentions his wife Mary and father-in-law William Spencer, so it is very possible that he married two sisters; a widower married his sister-in-law, a widow.
