Does anyone know whether or not both of these women married Capt. Thomas Avery, who is one of my direct ancestors. There seems to be much confusion on My Heritage about this, and I don't know for sure. I believe my ancestor was married to Hannah Miner Avery, but can't seem to clear this up. Different purported histories have Hannah Raymond Bulkeley as the only wife, but I believe that Hannah Miner Avery was his wife whether or not Hannah R. Bulkeley was his wife. Also, which children had which mother?

Can you tag the profiles to this discussion? (Copy paste the Geni link).

Also, did you check the profiles for “media” and open them up to review notes that may be in their “about” ?

Below you see the sort of confusion and conflation of people and dates that I have found (and am asked to confirm) regarding Hannah Miner Avery. If this death date were correct, my ancestor Jonathan Avery would have been Hannah Miner Avery's son. However, if the 1692 death were accurate (as I'm beginning to believe, then Jonathan Avery would be the son of Hannah Bulkley Avery, the second wife of Capt. Thomas Avery. This is not the only example of the Hannah Miner Avery death date being 1721. I did not see a death date listed on the Master Profile for Hannah Miner Avery. A death date would be a great help, given that there is another wife with a similar name.
