  2. A non-credible Find A Grave memorial with "Burial Details Unknown" lists Sarah as "Sarah Edmundson Gilbert", erroneously indicating her maiden name was Edmundson. But it cites as a source a familysearch tree, which gives Edmundson as a middle name, not a maiden name. Middle names in this era are often a sign of poor research because they were not widely used and indicate the researcher had insufficient historical knowledge. In any event, this tree identifies her as the daughter of Nathaniel and Hannah Gilbert, i.e., Person:Sarah Gilbert (57). She is a likely match based on name, age and location, but other secondary sources indicate that this Sarah Gilbert married otherwise, and her father's probate offers no clues. More research is needed, but given that no children were named Nathaniel or Hannah, probably this is not the correct identification.
