You have it correct. Maria Tommasa, the deceased, was the third wife-wife of the third bed "di terzo letto."

thanks, erudita....i think, then, that it is the 'di' that is getting me confused as it is not clearly written.

most appreciative.

I just enlarged the image again and think it's "in terzo letto." In any case, the meaning is the same.
