    3. Hi All, Hope someone can help me with this problem.... ! It's abit confusing...! Daniel Wood, son of Jonathan Wood & Peace Davis, b 1729, Dartmouth, Bris. MA, d. Dec 1773, Westport, MA, m. Susannah Chase,b.1735, dt. of Stephen Chase & Esther Buffinton, Susannah d. 1765, Dartmouth, Bris, MA,, then after he could have m. Mehitable Thurston Oct 1769, as Susannah d., 1765, (cause as I said before M. Thurston, dt. of Johnathan Thurston & Lydia Goddard, 1st m. Cornelius Coggeshall Dec 1763, Mehitable m. 2nd hus. Daniel Wood . Oct. 1769) so...:........ Sus. Chase m. D. Wood, she dies 1765, then Daniel Wood m. Mehitable Thurston 1769, Daniel dies 1773, Mehitable could have m. Benjamin5), in 1777. Benjamin Chase 5) was Susannah's brother born right after her, Sus. was iv.b. 1735, & Benj. Chase5) was 125 v.,b. 1737 (both children of Stephen Chase 4). Mehitable was supposed to have taken Benj. Chase as her 4th...... husband. I guess...... she could have squeezed another one in there, but anyway I have a feeling.......... that Meh. was the widow of Dan Wood who m. Benj Chase. (Was probably a marriage of convenience.) ,Then it would make sense that Mehitable Thurston & Benj Chase5)names her 3 children Elizabeth, who dies an infant, and Cornelius Thurston Chase, and Benjamin Chase......who is Benj6), and he & wife Phebe Barnard Macy name the 2nd son Daniel Wood. Also note how she,Mehitable Chase, apparently names her son Cornelius after her 1st husband Cornelius Coggeshall, by whom incidentally she has 1 child , a daughter, Elizabeth Coggeshall, b. 27 Aug. 1764............!!!!!!! Then speaking of Eliz Coggeshall, Benj 6) names 1st dt. Elizabeth as seen above..... It just seems to be toooo much to just be coincidental. Also, info I have does not show Mehitable having any children by Daniel Wood. Anybody have any thoughts on this??????, ESPECIALLY ABOUT HOW TO TRY TO PROVE THIS THEORY........! And....would you still look for a nother husband btn. Daniel Wood and Benj. Chae in orer for Brnj Chase to be her 4th husband.........??????? Also, could someone send the Sherman info where Wm1)Wm2) and then Joseph3) ties in by marrying Sarah Sherman. dt. of Samson & Isabel (Tripp) Sherman. I would also appreciate the Tripp info. Not sure I have all of this and if it is correct. If anyone knows how to join the Sherman List, PLEASE let me know....! Thanks very much for any help on all this........ Barb Chase Thompson [email protected] right after her. She being iv. and Benj. is 125. v.
