Controversy about Susannah Wilbore's Maiden Name

It seems certain that her maiden name was Harris, which is what was recorded in Vital Records of Bridgewater, Massachusetts and in The Wilbores of America. However records in Surrey, New Hampshire give her maiden name as Leonard, which is likely an error. See link below for a discussion.
