Goodwin's Genealogical Notes, 254[3], led me into the error of making Sarah, widow of Beach to married another time whereas Benjamin Beach long survived her, and the recorded of Stratford shows his third wife "December 1705, Benjamin Beach senior married widow Mary Fairchild" [Deed Book 2 (1683-1724) Stratford, Fairfield County, Connecticut, page 479a, Benjamin Beach Senior married Mrs Mary ffairchild Decr 5th 1705].
