There seems to be a little problem here regarding his wives. He is shown to have been married three times, and to have died on 11 Oct 1765.
Wife number one, Elizabeth (Hallett) Crowell didn't die until 17 Nov 1732, so the marriage to Margery Hall, on 15 Feb 1724/5, seems highly unlikely. Should that be 1734/5? Or, is Elizabeth's death date wrong and she died in 1722, instead of 1732?
Wife number two, Margery Hall supposedly didn't die until 25 May 1773, 8 years after he died. Unless they were divorced, which would have been very unlikely in those days, the third marriage to Mehitable Snow would have been impossible.
One possibility is that the death date for Margery Hall is wrong. Should Margery Hall's death date be 1753 or 1763?
