Does anyone have evidence or a source in support of the middle name Sarah?

We know that as a very old man, not long before he died, Thomas (1820 Settler) told his daughter Sarah to write down his birth information. He named his mother as Sarah, not Mary, but this could have been just a muddle with the name of his wife, Sarah. He also gave his mother's birthplace as the City of Staffordshire (which is a county) and gave a rather confused account of his birthplace. So we must make allowances for his possible state of mind.

I would like to suggest that if there is no evidence that Mary had a middle name, it should be removed from the profile.
