    Sarah Bradstreet m. (2) "previous to April 3, 1683" to Maj. Samuel Ward. Children "none that are known of".
    [Note: this appears to be the submission of a reader, without evidence, therefore of somewhat limited credibility. In illustration, the will of Samuel Ward seems to indicate there was one child. There are several proposed marriage dates found in sources. Torrey says "by 24 Jun 1684, earlier, aft Feb 1673/4". The first date comes from Sibley's Harvard Graduates, Vol. 1, p. 343, but the actual date can be shown to have been earlier so this is not the best source, plus several deeds show that the qualifier "probably" that is given in that source, is not needed. The date "aft Feb 1673/4" is based on the birth of the last child of the previous wife, but that can easily be adjusted to after 1681, when Sarah's first husband, Richard Hubbard died. Torrey actually lists this NYGBR source but chose not to show the 3 Apr 1683 date given there for some reason? The basis for this exact date has not been found, but an Essex county deed Vol. 5, p. 96 is executed by Sarah Ward "as Administratrix in ye estate of said Richard [Hubbard]" on 12 Apr 1683, a difference not really worth quibbling about...]
