We infer that Elder William1 had a daughter Sarah from the following facts: One Benjamin Barnard died in Watertown, Mass., 12 September 1694, leaving widow Sarah and two children. Their "uncle, Paul Wentworth, of Rowley," was made guardian, 19 December 1705, of these two children, viz. Sarah Barnard, then in her fifteenth year, and Benjamin Barnard, then in his thirteenth year. In another record is the following: "April 30, 1700, Sarah Barnard, in her 15th year, chose her Uncle Paul Wentworth, of Dover, N. H., for guardian." Savage, in Gen. Dict., gives Sarah Barnard, born in 1692; Benjamin Barnard, born 24 August 1693. That this uncle is called, in one record, "of Dover, N. H.," and in the other, "of Rowley, Mass.," is proof that he could be no other than Paul2.
