    Josiah Pierce m. Worcester 14 Mar 1744 Sarah Gale, b. 30 Nov 1726.
    [The speculation about Sarah's parentage given by Bond is unlikely to begin with, given the age difference, and appears disproven by the death record cited which shows Bond's Sarah is 20 years too old. Crane does not identify Sarah's parents, nor where she was born, but he appears to take Bond's birthdate and massage it to match the age at death. Bond was wrong, one cannot assume part of his presentation was correct and effectively make up facts! In terms of actual evidence, no birth record for a Sarah Gale born in 1726 is found in americanancestor.org's vital record collection. Her parentage is shown by her brother Joshua's will.]
