About Sarah Mumford
Biography
[http://jtbullock.com/Tree/AbigailWilbur.html]
Sarah Shearman (Sherman) is said to have been born in April or October of 1636, in what is now Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. She was the eldest daughter of thirteen children born to Sarah Odding and Philip Shearman. Unfortunately records for this area do not exist today, but her father’s will, written in 1681, confirms her parentage. In it he mentions his grandchildren Thomas and Peleg Mumford, and my daughter Sarah.
Shortly after her birth, the family moved to Portsmouth, Newport, RI, where she was raised. In about 1655, she married Thomas Mumford in South Kingstown, Washington County, RI. They had at least four children all born there – Thomas, born on November 25, 1656; Peleg born about 1659; ancestor Abigail; and Sarah, born about 1668. There are interesting stories about two of these children. First, the eldest son, Thomas, seems to have been a fair man, as he gave his sister, ancestor Abigail, land out of his inheritance (see Abigail’s bio for details). At age 30, Thomas married 16 year-old Abigail Kenyon, who many years later was murdered by a slave belonging to him. The murderer drowned himself to prevent being taken alive. The assembly ordered, as a warning to others, that his head, legs and arms be cut from his body and hung in a public place near Newport, and his body be burned to ashes. Secondly, the youngest daughter Sarah was the second wife of Benedict, the eldest son of the distinguished Benedict Arnold who was Governor of Rhode Island from 1663 to 1678, and the great-grandfather of the traitor, Benedict Arnold. Being the second wife, Sarah was not his great-grandmother.
It is not known when Sarah Shearman Mumford died, but it is believed it was before her husband’s death sometime between 1690 and and 1692.
