Person:Sarah Nash (15)

Sarah Nash's Mother?

Jacobus^[1] said Margaret, maybe. Barbour^[2] said Margaret. However, Margaret's Probate (Manwaring 1:463-64), while mentioning her Smith children and their children, is silent about Sarah (Nash) Cooke who had been living in Hartford but had removed with her husband to Northampton a few years prior (to 1691/92 when Margaret's will was written). It is by no means certain, but Margaret (-----) (Smith) (Nash) Hart's will tends to indicate that Sarah (Nash) Cooke was not her daughter, but an unrecorded daughter of Joseph Nash and his first wife Mary.
