Biography

Sarah Deneson, also known as Denison, was born about 1650 at Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Sarah married at Milton, 1 Dec 1681, Return Badcock, also known as Babcock.[1][2] Return was born about 1653 at Milton, Norfolk, Massachusetts Bay Colony, son of George Badcock.[3] The handwritten notation in the Dorchester record concerning their marriage states “Return Babcock & Sarah Denison of Milton were married by the worshipful William Stoughton Esq., Decr 1st 1681”[4] Sarah was likely the daughter of William Denison, who is listed in the Town of Milton's first Tax Records from 1678 as owning land in Milton.[5]

The family lived at Dartmouth.[3] Sarah Babcock died in 1715, age 64-65, at New London, Connecticut.

Notes

The merged profile had a birthdate of 1625; however, their sons were definite duplicates, and Sarah had no other connections, so I merged them assuming that the earlier birthdate was in error. -- Fiscus-32 16:46, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

• * United Ancestries (CD100, Automated Family Pedigrees #1] has Capt. George Denison and Bridget Thompson as the parents of Sarah. It shows she married a Thomas Stanton in 1660 prior to her marriage to James Harris in 1666. LDS has a file for Thomas Stanton and Sarah Denison. It states they were married 1658 at Stonington, New London, Connecticut, and that she was the daughter of George Denison and Bridget Thompson. It states she was born 20 March 1641, christened 20 March 1642, Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts, and died 19 Dec 1701 at Stonington, New London, Connecticut. It does not, however, show her as being the wife of James Harris. Thomas Stanton died in 1718.

Notes

• "There is apparently a Denison genealogy that has Sarah Denison (d. of Edward and Eliz. Weld) m. to James Harris in 1666. This Sarah is supposed to have been born in 1640 (but her parents were married March 1640/41). Also, from Michael Gray I have that the NEHGR, v. 46, pedigree of Denison shows Sarah Denison in the 9th birth slot for Edward's children (same as Savage). This would place herbetween Hannah (b 1655) and Deborah (b. 1660). Looks like the Denison genealogy is mixed up, and I think, wrong. I think I have it right here, and confirmed by 2 sources (Savage and the Gen. Memoirs of Worchester County)." - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~batemanp/d0000/g0000026.html

Seven of their children were baptized at the Old South Meeting House, Boston, in 1683.
