Person talk:Sarah Coomer (3)

Lack of sources [28 January 2019]

No sources were posted to explain to any reader how the data was known. I looked in the obvious places for records and didn't find them. There is no birth of Sarah Coomer found in the Plympton VRs. There is no death record of Sarah Cushman found in Connecticut VRs. So I backed it out.

Not cited, but in the my searches, I see that a Find A Grave memorial here lists this same information. Of course, only the information on the gravestone has any authority, the rest is merely unsourced posting by the contributor and to that extent they are refuted by the above comment.

The gravestone is hard to read. At magnification, it appears to say "In Memory of Mrs Sarah the wife of Cap't Nathamiel Chusman who died April 1 A. D. [and then appears too washed out to say]". Ironically a caption attached to the photo says "Sarah the wife of Capt. Nathaniel Cushman who died April 1st AD 1756 age 40", which is different that what the memorial page represents. Which makes this pretty useless as a source. --Jrich 23:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
