"Root, Sarah, [baptized] same date [April, 1685]~~, m. Joseph Prime, Jan. 8, 1728~~."

Joseph Prime married Sarah (Hickok) Root, daughter of Deacon Benjamin and Hannah (Skeel) Hickok, widow of Thomas Root.
↑ Sarah is not listed among the children of John and Dorcas Root in Root Genealogical Records, p. 54. From these and other records, it appears that this Sarah did exist, but died s.p. and was probably never married.
