Biography
"Jabez Mapes was born probably in 1664 and died in 1732. He first married Elizabeth Roe, daughter of John Roe of Brookhaven and later (the marriage contract is dated May 25, 1717) Hannah Case, widow."[1]
NOTE
There's a set of wives for Jabez out on the internet without sources[2] that includes a first wife Mary Corwin, d. 1690 (before Elizabeth Roe), and we have Mary Corwin attached to this profile. This contradicts the Mapes Family Association book cited above. This calls into question which woman (if he was married three times) is the mother of his children. We need sources.
