Ther is a lot of information concerning this family and some of it doesn't make sence.
I believe that Tabitha was William's 1st. wife and died after son William's birth in 1739 since the next child was born in 1745 6 years later, this was a long time in those days without getting pregnant. So I believe William married Angelica sometime around 1744.
I also have some doubt about Anglica's age since she would have been 52 when the last child was born, but not impossible.
