Person talk:Sarah Standish (6)


death date [3 March 2016]

I removed the unsourced death date "BEF 2 DEC 1809". I see that Source:Harlow Family, Descendants of Sgt. William Harlow 1624/5-1691 of Plymouth, Massachusetts, p. 195, says "On 2 December 1809 John Wright administered the estate of a Sarah Wright, who might be Sarah (Standish) (Tinkham) Wright." Plymouth Probate Vol. 43, p. 77 John Wright swore to the correctness of the inventory on 2 Dec 1809 (the inventory taken 13 Nov 1809), and Sarah is only described as "Sarah Wright late of Plympton deceased", but Vol. 39, p. 201 the letters of administration describe the intestate as "Sarah Wright late of Plympton in the County of Plymouth Singlewoman", which description would not be used for widow Sarah Wright, and so the supposition is incorrect. Vol. 53, p. 59 the distribution of the estate of "Sarah Wright late of Plympton Singlewoman" goes to the heirs of Adam Wright, the heirs of John Wright, and the heirs of Esther Hunt, which identifies this Sarah Wright as Adam's sister, not his widow. According to the dockets, all three of these document belong to the same probate case #23544. --Jrich 15:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
