  	Recent research (J. B. Arthaud in "The American Genealogist," April 2002) suggests that his first wife Mehitabel had died in 1656 and that he didn't marry Elizabeth Weed (of Stanford) until about 1664. Perhaps his abortive move to Norwalk in 1659 was related to his search for a spouse to mother his young children; Recent research (J. B.
