Your authors note that marriages of a Zerviah or Zeruiah to Sanford and Robbin are not found in the Brookfield vital records. The death of Zerviah Wheler is recorded in the vital records. That death record fits with the other information that we know about Zerviah Rice Wheeler and provides compelling evidence that the later marriages are in error. The granddaughter Zerviah Sanford that Azariah Rice mentions in his will is Zerviah Wheeler who married a Sanford.⁵
