John "of Weston" - m. in Watertown by Rev. Wareham Williams. Intent published in Weston 30 Jan 1736/7,

Shared note

Although the Whitny12 database shows this John as marrying two other wives, Bethia Cutter and Beriah (Bemis, Child) Pierce, Robert Ward, in his notes under this John makes a very convincing argument that the John Whitney who married these two women was the John Whitney born in 1714, son of John Whitney and Sarah Cutting.
