How likely is it that wives @Francis Boyden and @Frances Boyden are the same person? The conventional spelling of the female name is with "-es", though spelling would have been unreliable and nonstandardized back then. Seems worth an extra look.

Also @Hannah Phillips Bryden may well be the same person as @Hannah Boyden, aka Hannah Boyden (Phillips) from the Phillips family.

neverending tangle!

Looks like should be 2 wives, Frances & Hannah (Phillips) Morse, widow of Joseph Morse.

Yes, Francis is seen as an alternate spelling for Frances.

I can’t say yet whether the extra wives are duplicates or errors. The MP should be correct.
