    JOHNSON, Sally, d. Timothy and Sarah, [born] July 1, 1784.

  4.   Wheeler provides no clues to Sarah's identity. Fortunately her death date allows us to find the birth record. The marriage of Sarah's parents is not found in Grafton. Casting a wider net, there are two candidates, but one of the keys is probably the birth of son Seth to Timothy and Sarah on 28 Jul 1773. First, this would appear to rule out Timothy Johnson and Sarah Farnsworth who are getting married in Groton on this exact day, unlikely to say the least. Second, it suggests this is Timothy Johnson who m. Wrentham 1771 Sarah Jones, probably daughter of Seth Jones and Esther Thurston. However, as no such birth is recorded in Wrentham, it will require more research to verify this speculation.
