  3. Sources that mention Sarah's marriage to William Badlam offer no identification, nor has one been found (i.e., no probate, etc.) Assuming he was somewhere near his widow's age (born 1716 or thereabouts), there are three William Badlams found in Chamberlain's History of Weymouth and an article on the Badlam Family in NEHGR. William the son of the immigrant was born 1693 and unlikely he could have lived until 1804, but in any event, wasn't named in his grandfather's will of 1718, so thought to have died young. William, s/o Stephen, b. 1728, d. 1818, age 90, m. 1752 Rebecca Ellis who lived until 1814 (see NEHGR article, p. 141:12), so is clearly not the man. The third William, s/o Samuel, b. 1725 m. 1747 Sarah Owen, is not well-covered by either source (best coverage is Chamberlain, Vol. 3, p. 19), but must be the man by process of elimination combined with lack of contradicting evidence.
