Questionable Information Found
the existence of Sarah needs proving. Some sources interpret Sarah and Jonah as twins, which requires the first daughter Sarah to have died young. But Sarah b. 1660 is not listed in Plymouth Colony Records, only Sarah b. 1654, which combined with the comment about "written in Pencil" suggests Jonah was misrecorded/misread as Sarah and later corrected by the town clerk. We know Jonah existed from his will, but need similar evidence for Sarah for whom no later events in life seem to be known. Do not believe this Sarah existed.
