https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Page-337

Phoebe married James Cutler as his 3rd wife by 1662[4]in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts[2][3]. In reviewing the will of James Cutler, it seems that Phebe had a daughter by the same name prior to the Cutler marriage. Anderson in "The Great Migration" says, "The earlier history of Phebe Page is controversial, including allegations in court that she had been whipped at Long Island for fornication and that many believed she was pregnant in Watertown after staying out nights with John Poole." [1][4] Bond, in “Early Settlers of Watertown….”, states “Her youth had not been unblemished.”

Daughter of Phebe Page prior to her marriage to James Cutler:

Phebe who was named in the will of James Cutler in 1684 saying she was to have several things "that are none of my estate which must not be brought into my inventory." Anderson in "Great Migration" says on page 271, "We assume that the only way that Phebe could be entitled to things of her mother's that were not part of Cutler's estate is for her to be Phebe's child with someone other than James Cutler."[1]
