Ralph Ellinwood (1657-ca.1729) did have two wives. The first was Katherine, who complained to the court that he was an insufficient husband and would rather die than stay with him (Essex Co. Quarterly Court (published minutes), vol. 8, pp. 356-357).The marriage was annulled.The second was the mother of his known children, Martha Rowlandson.
