I am applying for membership with the Mayflower Society due to my direct line from a passenger, Samuel Fuller. Sarah Dunham is the daughter of Edward (Edmund) Dunham and Dinah FitzRandolf born in 1718 and married Benajah Dunn in 27 March 1744. There seems to be no proof of the marriage and furthermore this is record that Sarah died in infancy.

I am trying to prove that there was in fact a Sarah Dunham who was married and lived to 1799. Any help would be appreicated.
