Sarah Church

Garrett Church married by 1637, Sarah _____; on 6 February 1662/3 Sarah Church was one of those who complained against John Chenery "for his defect in not regulating his swine according to town order" (unless this is the daughter of the same name); no further record.

They had six children: John, Samuel, Sarah, Mary, Jonathan & David. John, Sarah, Mary, Jonathan most likely died young as there is no other records for them.

“The records of births of Garrett Church's children Mary and Jonathan give the mother as Mary; whereas the mother for all other children, both before and after these two, is given as Sarah. In the absence of other evidence, it is better to assume a simple scribal error rather than three wives for Garrett Church." GMB, p 360
