  2. CHA does not identify sources (see message on parents' page), and none have been found, so her basis for asserting a second daughter named Martha is unknown. The only birth record found is for 1679, with no sign of anything in 1669, or a death inbetween. It could be the result of misreading 1679, or being off by 10 doing math on her age, but we cannot check. However, as she probably has more access to sources in Andover than us, it seems prudent to follow her until we have contradictory evidence. If this Martha wasn't in this slot, who obviously died early if she existed, then it would be a good slot for the second Sarah?
