General

Research ,
There seems to be some confusion as to whom Huldah married after the death of her first husband -- Ebenezer Staples and/or Samuel Wilkerson. However, Huldah's daughter Huldah Aldrich is also reported to have married a Samuel Wilkerson. So maybe that is how the information gets confused.
