The marriages and children overlap for there to ONLY be one MARY WILCOX(SON).

Mary, twin with Nathaniel, daughter of Joseph Wilcox & Abigail Thrall, b. 1719 supposedly married SAMUEL HUMPHREY, b. 1710, in 27 Dec 1731 (per Humphrey Family in America) but she would only be 12 years old. The same source says Samuel died in 1755 and Mary died in 1756, with 8 children from 1733 to 1746.

But here we are also showing her in a marriage with GABRIEL CORNISH, whom she supposedly married in 1737 in Simsbury, CT and had children with until GABRIEL died in 1753 (Connecticut TOWN RECORDS - CANAAN VITAL RECORDS. She is named MARCY in the records with GABRIEL and EBENEZER. She supposedly remarried EBENEZER MUDGE, widow of Patience Fuller Mudge around 1771. But if she was dead in 1756??? Could this be the same person? Supposedly she dies in 1795 in New Ashford, Massachusetts. Ebenezer dies in 1803 in New Ashford, Massachusetts (MA Town and Vital Records).

TAG, Vol 59 (1983), page 43, THE CONNECTICUT WILCOXSONS shows Joseph WILCOX & ABIGAIL THRALL had two daughters named MARY, one married to Samuel Humphrey with NO birthdate and another, twin of Nathaniel, born 1719, married to Gabriel CORNISH.
