    Sarah Parks the wife of Josiah Parks Died January the 6th day 1729/30.

  5. ↑ Bond, p. 260, gives a couple of dates for Sarah that appears directly contradicted by records. He shows two daughters named Sarah, one bp. 22 Mar 1701-2 and one b. 16 Mar 1702-3. There is only one baptism found, on 29 Mar 1702, and if the birth record says 1702, which for the month of March is more likely 1701/02, which would be typical given the baptism date. So the second daughter appears to be fictitious.
    Bond then says Sarah d. 27 Jan 1729 in childbed. Weston records say, however, that she died a few hours after her son Josiah's birth, which occurred on 6 Jan 1729/30 and was recorded as part of a baptism on 11 Jan 1729/30. What motivated Bond's errors is unknown, but they appear clearly wrong.
