About Sarah Nurse

Sarah Craggen was the daughter of John Cragin and Sarah Dawes. She married Francis Nurse Jr. on Jan. 16, 1685 in Salem MA. She’s seen as Sarah Tarbell in error.

Her son's probate shows (Middlesex 16098) shows an appraisal on 19 Mar 1746 of real estate set off to widow Sarah Nurse, Deceased, presumably indicating Sarah had died by that date. The estate was settled on her grandson Jonathan Nurse.

David L. Davies CompuServe #74074,3052:
"Many esteemed genealogists have got it wrong that Francis Jr. married Sarah Tarbell. He married Sarah Craggen, a daughter of John Craggen & Sarah Dawes."
He wrote the following in his publication "Anthrogenealistory" Vol. 2 No. 1 December 25, 1995:
"Rebecca Nurse.. her son Francis moved to Reading after the hanging and married Sarah Tarbell, or so thought many esteemed genealogists. In 1994, however, genealogical investigator Barbara Mathews (on a case for a Mrs. Jane E. Palmer of Kensett, Iowa)... In "The American Genealogist" she set forth convincing proof that Sarah Tarbell had in fact married Cornelius Church and that our 'Sarah' was one Sarah Craggen. Sarah Craggen's father John set forth very clearly in his last Will of 30 May 1704 that Francis was his son-in-law. John Craggen married Sarah Dawes in Woburn on 4 Novembre 1661, and they had eight children of whom Sarah was the second."
