from https://carpentercousins.com/Group3/aqwn06.htm#938: Followup by Gene Zubrinsky: "... I give additional information: the vital-record citation RVR 1:21, which has her birth at Rehoboth, 13 April 1667, as being to John and Rachel (______) Read, not Thomas and Elizabeth (Clark) Read. Thomas Read's wife Elizabeth Clark died in 1674/5; they had five children but no daughter Mehitabel. Thomas then married Hannah Perrin, with whom he had a daughter Mehitabel, but she was born in 1684 and died unmarried in 1743. (Jim Bullock, whose work I respect, agrees with all this.)"
