Question of her Identity

The following uncited quote is taken from David Drabold's RootsWeb tree:

'One of their sons, Archibald McPheters, b. 7 Dec 1738, was something of an adventurer, and moved about in what is now the State of Maine, before steeling on the Penobscot River at what they called Sunbury, but was later officially called Bangor. He was one of the official original settlers there. He and his wife, Sarah Stewart, had nine children, one of whom was Archibald McPheters (or McPhetres) Jr., b. ca 1764. He was apparently also born in Georgetown before the family moved up to the Penobscot River to where Bangor now stands.'

This suggests that Archibald was only married once, and his wife was thought to be Sarah Stewart. However, it appears that more recently, DNA evidence suggests that his wife may have been Sarah Stinson.
