His Master Profile says he was married to Sarah B. Warfield (another Master Profile) and Sarah Davis.

''Anne Arundel Gentry'' and other sources say he was married to '''Elizabeth''' Warfield and Sarah Davis.

Or was he married sequentially to all three? :-)

There is confusion about Sarah Warfield's first name (it is sometimes seen as Elizabeth). The MPs are as correct as is known. This just needed a merge, which is now done. Hope that helps.

OK thanks.

Middle names were just starting to become "in" about this period, leading to occasional confusion as to who was really who and which name came in which order. :-)

I am reluctant to fudge it so I put Elizabeth Warbridge in the AKA. I don't know what initial B. In the MP might stand for? Anyway - the 2 marriages are clear, and both were Sarah's. :)

Newman ("Anne Arundel Gentry") occasionally blew it - this may have been one of those times. :-)

Or it could be as you said - middle names were just coming in and she was in fact a Sarah Elizabeth; I just don't know.
