I'm interested in information about the marriages of Martha Holmes (b. 1640 to Rev. Obadiah Holmes & Katherin Hyde). She is listed in many trees as having been married to both John Audley (b. 1640 to John Audley & Margaret Brager) in 1660 and William Wilbore (b. 1630) in 1653.
This makes no sense to me as William Wilbore didn't pass until after 1700 and and I find nothing on a divorce of any kind. Many of the children claimed to have come from Martha Holmes & William Wilbore are born long after her date of marriage to John Audley and children born of her marriage to John Audley have birthdays mixed throughout that timeframe as well. Many trees seem to not include the last born Wilbore children as they conflict with the marriage to John Audley.
I haven't found any actual documentation of William Wilbore's marriage to Martha Holmes, although it's documented he did marry a Martha, but I have found numerous documents from the founding of Boston, etc.. mentioning in full name John Audley's wife Martha Holmes.
I'm not sure what the actual lineage is, but I tend to beleive that Martha Holmes was in fact NOT the wife of William Wilbore.. or maybe there was in fact another Martha Holmes in the area (maybe a cousin?)
I've seen the birth date for William Wilbore's wife Martha vary between 1632, 1634, 1636 and 1640 which would make more sense for a marriage that happened in 1653... while John Audley's wife Martha Holmes is documented as having been born in 1640 and her birthday is supported by official records.
Any help is appreciated!
reply to this thread also says no record of this Martha marrying Wilbur/Wilbore.
