  1. 1.  Sarah was born about 1674; died on 28 Nov 1746 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts; was buried in Orleans Cemetery, Orleans, Barnstable, Massachusetts.

    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.

    Sarah married Jonathan Sparrow between 1706 and 1712. Jonathan (son of Jonathan Sparrow and Rebecca Bangs) was born on 9 Jul 1665 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts; died on 9 Mar 1740. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation: 3

  1. 3.  Jerusha Knowles Descendancy chart to this point (2.Sarah2, 1.Sarah1)

    Notes:

    "The evidences that Jerusha and Nathaniel were brother and sister are family statements of the descendants taken down around the year 1880 by the late Professor Arnold Doane of Barrington. The chief grounds for making them children of Enos Knowles are that Enos had a son not otherwise accounted for, that Jerusha and Nathaniel could not possibly have been children of Enos's brother Samuel or cousin Cornelius, that Nathaniel named a son Enos -- a name almost unused either in Eastham or Barrington, and that the name Jerusha prevailed among the proved descendants of Enos." [Charles Thornton Libby, citation details below.]

    Her first husband was Simeon Crowell, who was lost at sea in the summer of 1768.
