The Identity of the Wives of John Todd of New Haven and John Coney of Boston

1915-Various Ancestral Lines of James Goodwin and Lucy (Morgan) Goodwin (Frank Farnsworth Starr), 89 - Sarah d. of James Blackman m. (1) John Todd of New Haven, (2) ----- Cunny (based on James Blackman's will). The wife of John Todd of New Haven was not identical with the wife of John Coney of Boston. John Todd and his Sarah had children from 1678 to 1688. John Coney and his Sarah had children from 1678-1691 [or 1685 to 1691].

1920-The Todd Family in America (John Edwards Todd), 22 - John Todd m. (2) Sarah d. of James and Mirriam (Wheeler) Blakeman. - Incorrect.

1928-Ancestors and Descendants of John Coney (Mary Lovering Holman), 66 - John Coney m (1) about 1677 Sarah -----. Mrs. Holman didn't know and she didn't venture a guess.

1930-History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield (Donald Lines Jacobus), 1:83 - Sarah d. of James Blackman m. about 1677 John Coney.

1930-History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield (Donald Lines Jacobus), 1:159 - John Coney m (1) Sarah Blackman dau. of James of Stratford.

CONCLUSION: It is highly probable that Sarah, daughter of James and ----- (Stiles) of Stratford married John Coney of Boston and that the origin and parentage of the Sarah Blackman who married John Todd of New Haven is unknown. Jacobus noted that John's Coney's two wives were first cousins and that he had children by both and that John's brother Benjamin married, lived and died at Stratford.
