No evidence to support as daughter of Edmonde Bennett & Kathryn Bennett
Perhaps the name “Sarah Bennett” is seen as a mixup with a later Sarah (Bennett) Champion, but there is no record of the name of this Henry Champion’s wife.
Henry was at least twice married. According to the Saybrook, Conn. records, Henry m. 1) an unnamed wife in "Aug. ---, 1647", but her name remains unknown. In 1891 Francis Bacon Trowbridge pub. The Champion Genealogy, being principally A History of the Descendants of Henry Champion of Saybrook and Lyme, Connecicut. Well documented, Trowbridge could not find any extant document that included the given name of Henry's wife. By due diligence, the present writer also failed to uncover any document that includes her identity including when she died. Any claim that the name of his wife, the presumed mother of his known children, was a Sarah Bennett has no basis in fact. It is likely some writer after Trowbridge erroneously extrapolated and confused the married name of Henry's eldest dau. Sarah (Champion) Bennett as being the name of Henry's wife.
At near 86 years of age, Henry m. 2) of record Mar. 21, 1697/8 at Lyme, the widow Deborah (Palmer) Jones, who outlived him.
The six known children of the immigrant Henry Champion, as recorded in the earliest town records of Saybrook, Conn., are:
