    Children of Jonas Whitcomb [#64] and Hannah Sawtelle: Sarah, b. 4 Sep 1753, m. Joshua Sawyer.
    [Note: there appears to be no marriage of any Joshua Sawyer to anybody named Sarah at least from 1770 until 1830. There is no probate for Jonas Whitcomb so it is not clear what this assumption is based on, but presumably some document giving a married name of Sawyer, for which the wrong given name was added? The guardian files for David Whitcomb's children Sarah and David names as their guardians Peter Sawyer & Sarah Sawyer, for example, though Peter is explicitly given, not Joshua, and this source doesn't even show the marriage to David Whitcomb.]
