Definitely. One of my (local) great-great-grandfathers was married three times, my gggmother being his third wife. The second wife only lasted a couple of years (probably not even) so, of the rather large number of kids, there were three groups.
OTOH, in the south, where tobacco was the big crop early on, the men tended to be croaking out more due to labor in the very sunny and hot fields, while the widows would have little trouble finding another husband who needed land to earn his fortune. George Washington was in that boat. Martha it sez here spent about half of the Revolutionary War with George, what a trooper.
Interesting. I never thought about the replacement husbands.
