"15. Sarah3 Bordman (Isaac,2 Samuel1), born at Wethersfield, 1673 … buried in the old yard at Middletown Upper Houses, now Cromwell. Mrs. Sarah Frary's tombstone, a table monument, reads: 'Here lieth the Body of Sarah wife of Levt Saml Frary who died March ye 1, 1733 (1734) in ye 61st year of her age.' … [footnote] The births of Sarah and her next younger sister, Abiah, are omitted in the Wethersfield Town Records of Isaac Boreman's children, but their names appear in the distribution of their father's estate, where Sarah Frary is called the eldest daughter, and Abiah, the second. As Sarah must thus have been next younger than her brother, Thomas, born 1671, we have her date of birth, 1673, corresponding to her age on her tombstone."
Goldthwaite interprets Sarah's gravestone, which reads March 1, 1733, as 1733/34. However, her husband remarried in January 1733/34. Assuming the date of his second marriage is correct, she must have died March 1 1732/33. This makes sense, since March was the first month of the year, March 1732/33 may have been written as March 1733.
