There are two death records in Wrentham for Sarah Lawrence, one an unidentified Sarah in 1684, the date given by Savage. The second for Sarah, the wife of John in 1690. Savage has taken half of each record and created a fiction from the combination. The Sarah who d. in 1684 is identified as John's daughter, b. 1 Jan 1661/62, and so of legal age in 1684, by Source:Wheeler, Daniel M. Wheeler Family of Rutland, Mass., and Some of Their Ancestors which appears to have about the best coverage of this family readily available. The John of Wrentham is the same as the John of Boston/Muddy River. --Jrich 19:46, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
