Dean Crawford Smith and Melinde Lutz Sanborn, "Leland" in The ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton 1878-1908 (Boston, MA: NEHGS, 2000) Part IV 452

In The ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton published in 2000 by NEHGS the authors point out that Savage made an error and created a wife name Lydia Leland. No such person existed. The second wife's maiden name is unknown. This error was copied to later books. History of Weymouth has the correct information.
