This Wiki page:

Has this person:

Desire Wooding

listed as Desire (Cooper) Wooding who married John Wooding but then farther down on the page lists:
"
Desire COOPER [1] was born [2] 5 Feb 1709 in New Haven, CT. She married [3] Captain John WOODING on 6 Apr 1727 in New Haven, CT.

Spouse:

Owen Dailey Jr"

indicating she was married twice

However, here on Geni we have Sarah Desire Cooper married to Owen Dailey.

To complicate things even more, Wiki shows the parents did have a daughter named Sarah, but she didn't marry a Dailey or a Wooding. She married Jeremiah Macomber:

So it 'seems' that Desire Cooper did marry twice - to John Wooding and Owen Dailey and her name was probably just Desire, not Sarah Desire since she had a sister named Sarah.

Regarding the Jr. on Owen Dailey's name, that's probably because some sites list his father as Joseph Owen Dailey.
