    MARRIAGE: By about 1641 RICHARD ORMSBY.

    Sources cited for her marriage to Richard Ormsby are Mayflower Quarterly 49:172 (see separate citation); The old families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts by David Webster Hoyt, p. 267; and Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire by Sybil Noyes, et al, p. 520. Neither of the latter 2 sources identify Sarah, the wife of Richard Ormsby, as Sarah Upham, but Hoyt lists the 3 sons of Richard and Sarah Ormsby (John, Thomas, and Jacob) mentioned in the will of Joanna (Upham) Martin (see Mayflower Quarterly 49:172).

    'SARAH UPHAM, b. ca. 1609; ... She evidently m. RICHARD ORMSBY, b. ca. 1607, who d. Rehoboth, Mass., 30 June 1664, leaving a widow, Sarah, who was living there 3 Oct. 1665, and three sons, John, Thomas and Jacob. Widow Joanna (Upham) Martin, who d. Rehoboth in 1668, named in her will "cousins" [nephews] John, Thomas and Jacob Ormsby, all the children of Richard Ormsby.'

    child of Richard and Maria Upham of Bicton, Devonshire:
    'Sara, per[haps] m. Richard Webb; emigrated to New England.'

    This is why some trees show that Sarah Upham married Richard Webb. However, the will of Joanna (Upham) Martin (see Mayflower Quarterly citation) indicates that Sarah married Richard Ormsby.
