About Sarah Latham

The above record of the family of Sarah' Avery does not appear in Sweet's Averys of Groton. It is possible that it is not correct. The reasons for thinking that it is correct are as follows:

(1). James Avery, the father of this Sarah Avery, referred to her in 1717 as Sarah Latham, in 1727, he called her Sarah Latham. From this it is evident that his daughter, Sarah, was married to a Mr. Latham as early as 1717 and that she was alive in 1727 (Groton Deeds, 2:394).

(2), A careful search among the Latham records reveals only one Latham of that period who married a Sarah. Earlier than 1714, Carey Latham married Sarah . . . The last name has not been ascertained. Mrs. Sarah Latham's tombstone shows that she died in 1732, aged 44; Sarah Avery was born in 1688; the age agrees with the dates.
