Children of Joseph Muzzy and "Lois (?Pierce)": 2) Sarah, bp. 3 Apr 1737 [sic, see attached comments], m. 23 May 1765 Josiah Boucker Jr. of Westboro.
[The incorrect baptism date of 3 Apr 1737 comes from the Lexington record for Sarah Muzzy, d/o Amos. This sloppiness of Hudson's calls into question whether he has identified Sarah's parents correctly. But it appears he has. For one thing, he says Joseph the father "may have moved to Shrewsbury". And while he doesn't explain, an inspection of various vital records show that several of the Muzzy children clearly belonging to Joseph (particularly Lois who is unmistakable, there being no other of that name, but also Abigail, Joseph and Nathan) also marry in Shrewsbury.]
