NOTE!!!

The higlighted Sarah Dunton married to Eleazer is not the same as the one married to Abraham. See below a passage from http://www.americanancestors.org/A_Dunton_Update/

A Sarah Dunton who m. Andover 12 Sept. 1705 Abraham Graves, and d. there a widow 21 June 1750 in 91st year, was the elder Nathaniel’s sister (b. Reading 28 March 1660), not his daughter (as per K.V. Graves, Samuel Graves...of Lynn, Massachusetts [1985], p. 17), or widow. The Sarah Dunton who m. Andover 9 Nov. 1709 her stepbrother Eleazer Graves (Abraham’s son by first wife Anna Hayward) and d there 10 April 1723, was apparently a child of Sarah (Dunton) Graves by an unknown father, born long before the elder Sarah’s marriage. According to W.F. Bucknam, Elizabeth2 Dunton (1658-1740) (Samuel1; sister of Nathaniel and Sarah above and wife of Nathaniel Evans [1650-1710]%29 , was “a young lady of whom tradition says that her temper was less amiable than her looks, which occasioned the remark among his neighbors, that Evans had spoiled his family for the sake of a pretty face” (“Reading, Mass. Families” [mss. at NEHGS, nd.], 1:191).
