From East Hampton pg 597:(condensed from the Vail Genealogy of Louis Tooker Vail)

“Jeremiah 2 b. 1649 d. 1726 m. 1st 1668/9, Mary Moore, dau. Thomas and Martha Youngs Moore (the latter sister of the Rev. John Youngs); he m. 2nd Mrs. Ann Hampton Moore, Dau James and Jane Hampton of Southampton, L.I., formerly of Salem, and widow of Benjamin Moore of Southold.”

It seems clear that Jeremiah Vail(-1102) had two wives. The second was Ann(Hampton-14) Moore, widow of Benjamin Moore. They married c. 1690. She outlived Jeremiah by only a month and died in Southold NY in 1726. Her maiden name was probably Hampton. Her parents may have been James and Jane Hampton from Salem MA. Jeremiah’s first wife, mother of his children, shows up as 1) unknown; 2) Ann Moore Hampton; or 3) Mary, possibly Moore. They married c. 1667. She died in Southold, c. 1689. Mary Moore was the sister of Benjamin Moore , the first husband of Jeremiah's second wife Ann Hampton Moore. The Moores and Vails were neighbors and they seem to have have intermarried repeatedly.

Jeremiah was born in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts. On 30 December 1649, he was christened in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, at the First Church. Jeremiah married Anna (?). Anna's maiden name may have been Moore. 1698, Jeremiah and Anna and his wife, [ROF:Southold Town] werelisted on the Southold Town Census. Enumerated in this household were Jeremiah Vealel, Anne, Thomas, Jeremiah Junjr.,& Mary.7 Jeremiah made his will on 2 January 1723 at the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
