    42(Jul 1888):300.

    [named in her father's will ; her older half brother Hugh Hall brought her to Boston to be educated and live with her grandmother, Mrs. Lydia Colman]

    ... Sarah Hall ... married Major John Wentworth as early as 1732, for her brother Richard, writing from Barbados April 3, 1732, says:

    I heartily rejoice at Sally's good fortune and hope Molly will have her turn also, but it would not have been fair to let Sally dance barefoot, which I hear Molly expected would have been done.

    At the time of her marriage, she and her sister Mary seem to have resided with their [half] brother Hugh. Her descendants are given in the Wentworth Genealogy, Vol. I, p 305, et seq. The New Hampshire Gazette thus announces the death of her sister Mary and herself:

    February 3, 1790. Since our last, died Mary, widow of Capt. William Wentworth, aged 77.
    March 26, 1790. Since our last, died Sarah, widow of Maj. John Wentworth, aged 79. ...
