On 2 Dec 1819 Elizabeth married Heman Stoddard (58364) , son of Obadiah Stoddard (46410) (4 Jul 1760-30 Jan 1862) & Celia Vining (ca 1765-18 Dec 1843), in Hanover, MA.486 Born ca 1791 in Hanover, MA. Heman died in Hanover, MA on 29 Mar 1864. Buried in Union Cemetery, Hanover.

Apparently, Heman had four wifes and his marriages were
    1819 to Elizabeth Brooks, b. 1779, d. 1825
    1825 to Hepsibah Nash, b. 1755, d. 1829
    1829 to Hannah Gardner, b. 1798, d. 1836
    1836 to Ruth Clark, b. 1796, d. 1850
The age of Hepsibah seems to be off, but her death record clearly stated that she died age 74.

There’s an intention to marry at Scituate, dated 14 Nov 1818, of Heman Stoddard and Susan W. Gardner of Hingham, but it was crossed out.52 Apparently they weren’t married.
