About Sarah "Sally" Highsmith

SARAH (WOODS) HIIGHSMITH / 1751 - 1830

Per "New Jersey Births & Christenings, 1660 - 1980", one Sarah Wood was christened on April 21, 1751 at the First Presbyterian Church in Morristown (Morris County), New Jersey. Father is recorded as Richard Wood, no mother is recorded. Inasmuch as Richard Woods, Jr. is interred in the First Presbyterian Churchyard, reasonable inference suggests that 'Richard Wood' and Richard Woods, Jr. are one and the same person. Inasmuch as Richard's presumably first wife, Sarah Woods (1727 - 1749) is interred alongside him in First Presbyterian Churchyard and Sarah Wood / Woods birth year is 1751, it may be inferred, but not documented, that Rebecca (Wilson) Woods is her birth mother.
