Sarah Marsh

Nicholas Wallingford married Sarah Travers, 30 August 1654, in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.(1) Sarah was born about 1636, in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.(2) Sarah was the daughter of Henry Travers and Bridget Fitts?. Sarah died before 22 August 1709. Administration of her estate was granted to her son John on that date, when she was referred to as "Sarah Wallingford alias Mash", of Bradford, "Relict of Nicholas Wallingford of Bradford."(3) THE TRAVERS FAMILY

Sarah's father, whose name is sometimes spelled Travis, came from London, England in the "Mary and John" early in 1634. Some secondary sources have said he was of Irish ancestry, but there is no evidence for this. The passengers of the "Mary and John" went first to Agawam, now Ipswich, Mass., and in 1635 many of them, Henry Travers included, moved to Newbury. He was granted six acres of salt marsh in the Great Marsh, and a house lot of half an acre near the First Landing Place. Also four acres in another part of Newbury.(4) He was on a list of 91 freeholders of Newbury on 7 December 1642.(5)
