    "It is certain that Sarah Chillingworth was married to Samuel Sprague by 3 Oct. 1665, when Justice Eames complained against against Samuel Sprague, his wife Sarah, and John Foster in regard to lands once belonging to Thomas Chillingsworth (PCR 7:124)." Since John Dingley was alive at the time, she could not have been his wife before this, and since Samuel Sprague survived John Dingley, she could not have married him later, although it has been claimed in print many times (e.g., Source:Dingley, Edward Nelson. Ancestors of Edward Nelson Dingley and His Wife Miriam Gardner Robinson). Savage and other give her name as Sarah, but Stratton cannot find a primary source even for that.
