Sarah Amidon

Notes

• Removed invalid place of birth. It's impossible that anyone was born in Rehoboth circa 1618. The town wasn't settled until 1643. No immigrant was born in colonial New England before the Mayflower landing in late November 1620. The earliest births in colonial America occurred in 1607 and later at Jamestown, Virginia.
• Removed insuppotable maiden name "Edlund."
• Deeply flawed Geneanet data is too often not firmly rooted in primary or secondary sources.
  • A big tip-off is it gives her a middle name, calling her Sarah Lynn Hutching. Wikitree rightly states: "Sarah was the first wife of Roger Amidon. Her surname is unknown, although some references state it was Hutchins, without known documentation."
  • Her parents were not Henry Lynn and Sarah Blower, and Sarah did not ever marry a Hutching. For argument sake, if she 1st married a Hutching, when did he die or divorce so she somehow was available to marry Roger?
  • Is it possible Sarah was a "primary immigrant" arriving as "Sarah Lynn" with husband Henry Lynn? Prove it if one can, but connecting linked relationships (children to parents) with validating sources will lead to headaches. Chronicler Charles Edward Banks shows a Henry and Sarah Lynn arriving in Salem in 1630. It doesn't reveal children immigrating with them.
