- The records for Robert Mann are incomplete and confusing, and possibly wrong, as can be seen by trying to make sense of the coverage in Source:Smith, Dean Crawford. Ancestry of Eva Belle Kempton 1878-1908, Part III, p. 75, which shows a wife Elizabeth d. 1705, marrying Sarah --- before 1707 (son Samuel b. 1707, Benjamin b. 1710, both born to "Robert and Sarah", Sarah d. 1710, and then he may have married Sarah Talbot as a fourth wife 1711, but he had no wife in 1717 when he wrote his will. In fact, since the Sudbury records show him marrying Sarah Talbot 17 Mar 1700-1 in Concord (i.e., before Elizabeth died?), while Concord records show him marrying Sarah Talbard 7 Aug 1711 (i.e., similar enough to be the same name?). It would look like two different people except that his codicil mentions "son" Edmond Goodenough who married Dorothy Mann in 1686, obviously showing him to be the man of a much earlier marriage (probably 1660s). It is suspected that possibly the marriage to Sarah Talbot was 1706-7, misread (based on when children were born)? Then everything fits. It makes sense he would remarry with two young children after Sarah d. in 1710, so the marriage in 1711 seems likely, but more information is needed about the two Sarahs.
