Jeremiah Wilson: After the death of his first wife, he settled in Newport, R.I., where he married 26 Jan, 1721, Mary (Smith) Guthridge (Trinity Church Rec's, Arnold, 10:475), possibly widow of a Richard Gutterdg who died at Newport 14 Aug 1720 age 51 and is buried in Newport Common burial Ground with an earlier wife, Sarah who died in 1712. (Alden G. Beaman, Vital Rec's of R.I., New Series(hererinafter Beaman), 11 (1985): 194)

"..."Clues in the Jane Wilson manuscript make it possible to identify Mary as the daughter of William and Mary Ruck Smith, born Salem, Mass., 10 August, 1690. (Vital Rec's Salem, Mass. to the End of the year 1849, 6 Vols {Salem, 1916-1925}, 2:303. Her parents settled in Newport about 1695 and her father died in South Kingstown, in an accident in 1701, aged 41; he is buried there in the old Wilson Cemetery (Newport Gleanings, items 16 and 67; Harries, 3:50 see also Essex Antiquarian, 4 {1900}, 2:19-22 and Essex Co., Mass., Deed, 10:111; 13:306).

The Jane Wilson manuscript states that Mary had by her first Husband (Guthridge) a daughter who married "at Woodbrige {sic, probably a Woodbridge} at Grotton {Connecticut}, " but efforts to identify this child so far been unsuccessful."
