Sarah Pierce1
b. 3 March 1732
Birth* | 3 March 1732 | Sarah Pierce was born by 3 March 1732, the date her mother died, in Scituate1,2 |
Baptism | 8 April 1733 | and was baptized on 8 April 1733 in the First Parish Church, Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).3 |
Marriage Intention | 30 August 1751 | An intention of marriage for Sarah Pierce and Samuel Holbrook Jr. was recorded on 30 August 1751 in Scituate.4 |
Marriage* | 27 November 1751 | She married Samuel Holbrook Jr., son of Samuel Holbrook and Jane Clap, on 27 November 1751 in Scituate, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,4 |
(Possible Mother) Relationship Note | | Elijah and Jane Holbrook may have been twins. They were baptized on the same day, and their birth date(s) are not known. Their parentage is also questionable. The "Seven Pierce Families" stated that Samuel and Sarah (Pierce) Holbrook had five children. The Scituate vital records indicated they had eight, if Elijah and Jane were theirs. Scituate provided only the father's name of Samuel for Jane and Elijah, so whether they are the children of Samuel and Sarah who would have been in their mid forties in 1777, or of their son Samuel or even some other Samuel, is uncertain.5,1 |
