  • Notes 
    • Her first marriage was to Henry Young (1672-1706), son of John Young and Abigail Howland. She may have been a daughter of Jabez Snow (1642-1690, son of Nicholas Snow and Constance Hopkins, daughter of Stephen Hopkins of the Mayflower), and his wife Elizabeth Smith (1648-1732), who had a daughter Sarah born at about the right time. Jonathan Sparrow and the present Sarah did name a son Jabez. Unfortunately for proving this, the distribution of Jabez Snow's estate on 8 Apr 1695 lists the sons by name but the six daughters only by reference, and the Sarah who was the daughter of Jabez and Constance was married at this point. For what it's worth, as of 15 Oct 2003 the General Society of Mayflower Descendants has stopped accepting membership applications based on descent from Sarah the wife of Jonathan Sparrow.
