From New England Life in the Eighteenth Century: Representative Biographies from ... By Clifford Kenyon Shipton page 204

"When he [William Brattle] was quarreling with George Whitfield, his wife and daughter lay sick of throat distemper (19), probably in this instance diphtheria which he had brought into his home from the bedside of some patient. Five small daughters and a son were carried from the mansion to the burial ground. Katherine Saltonstall Brattle survived these blows only to succumb to the smallpox on April 28, 1752. The Major was married again on November 2, 1755, this time to Martha Fitch Allen, widow of James Allen (A.B. 1717). She died on August 26, 1763."
