↑ Source:Sparks, John. Roots of Appalachian Christianity, p. 13, suggests that Rebecca is "possibly a sister of Sarah" which would involve considering if Lexington is a misread of Willington (or vice versa). There are two Sarahs baptized in Lexington very close to each other, parents of neither children being named. Source:Hudson, Charles. History of the Town of Lexington, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, from Its First Settlement to 1868, p. 2:326 treats both families as the same, mixing what appear to be children of different families, as the two Sarahs have different baptism dates, which seems questionable. The family described (John Johnson and Mary Carly) by Hudson is still in Lexington in 1715 with no indication given that they left. More research is needed.
