Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Low-910

Sarah Low was probably born in Ipswich, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Secondary sources show she was the daughter of Deacon Thomas Lowe and Martha Borman [1] [2] [3]

Although the Lowe genealogy cited here states she remarried Nathan Webster, this is not consistent with the primary records. Sarah (Lowe) Grover's records clearly show she predeceased her husband. Further, Nathan Webster married Sarah Lowe of Ipswich], not Sarah Grover of Beverly, as John Grover's widow would have been called. This suggests that Nathan Webster married a different woman. Sarah Low and John Grover, Jr., of Beverly were married on 23 Jun 1687, in Ipswich.[4][5]

Sarah and John had three children:

1. Sarah Grover (b. 4 Oct 1688;[6] d. 12 May 1689, age about 7 months)[7]
2. Sarah Grover (b. 28 Apr 1690)[8]
3. John Grover (b. 7 Jun 1692)[9]

Sarah Low Grover died on 27 Aug 1692, in Beverly.[10]
