Wives and children?

The article said: "In 1717 Huxham married Ellen or Eleanor Coram, the daughter of Thomas Coram, the founder of London's Foundling Hospital, at St Andrews church, Plymouth. He died on 10 August 1768." However, this sentence is not referenced and, worse, it is at odds with the article in the Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 28, which states "He married Ellen Corham, and after her death Elizabeth Harris, who also died before him. He left two daughters and one son, John Corham Huxham, who graduated at Exeter College, Oxford, became F.R.S., and edited several of his father's works." I have inserted that sentence into the article instead of the earlier one.
