Lydia may have been Lydia Jennison. She may have been born in Watertown 1676, and may have m. Dr. Samuel Wheat abt. 1700. I have not found any record of her birth or their marriage. Bond's Watertown could not identify her. He says she joined the church in Concord.
Silas Wheat's Wheat Genealogy suggests that she may been Lydia Jennison. He says she was 44 years old when she died.
Dr. Wheat bought land in several towns, all near Boston. He resided in turn at Concord, Newton, Watertown, Needham, Cambridge, and Roxbury.
After her death, Dr. Wheat m. Mary Chadwick, Nov. 8, 1720, at Needham.
Children of Samuel and Lydia, b. in Watertown:
Samuel Wheat son of Samuel & Lydia Wheat was born october the: 2: 1703.
Salmon Wheat Son of Samuell & Lydia Wheat born January the 7: 1705.
Jemima and Keziah Wheat Twin Daughters of Docter Samuel and Lydia Wheat Were Born the Eighth Day of May: 1713.
In addition to the above children, the Wheat Genealogy lists Solomon and Benjamin with no dates of birth.
UPDATE: Her maiden name remains unknown. The reason the Wheat Genealogy suggested "Jennison" was based on a misreading of the original handwritten Watertown VR (quoted correctly above from the 1894 transcription) for the 1713 birth of twins Keziah and Jemima.
