_e._ WILDER—The “Book of the Wilders,” p. 283, says: “There is a church
record in Northampton that states that, ‘Catherine, daughter of
Catherine and Aholiab Wilder, was baptized in 1741,’ which is all that
we can learn of his [Aholiab’s] wife.” Their children were Catherine,
Aholiab, Daniel Witherby, Samuel, and Joshua. Who was Catherine, and

_f._ BROWN-SHELDON—The “Index of the Births, Marriages, and Deaths,

_g._ BULLOCK—Who was Comfort Bullock, born in Rehoboth, Mar. 9, 1762,
married 1st to Sybil Pierce, of Dartmouth, Dec. 19, 1784, and 2d, in
Rehoboth, Dec. 4, 1788, to Bethia Bowen? He was said to have been the
son of the Comfort Bullock who was born at Barrington in 1741 and
married to Holmes Whitman in 1768, but this Comfort proves to have been
a girl, and Holmes Whitman, her husband. The date of birth of the first
named Comfort is from family records which do not give his parentage.
