  •  Sarah Lawton is reported in the Ancestral File as born 1 April 1647 in Canfield, Bedfordshire, England (FN 9CQD-XS). Mary Jo Sisson March has researched the Lawton family for years, and reports that Sarah did not have a brother named either Thomas or Josiah. Her father was Thomas, and she had a son named Thomas. Sarah's father Thomas named his children in his will. Sarah's half-brother Isaac married Mary Sisson, Sarah's sister-in-law, her husband George's sister. Mary died in childbirth. Isaac then married Elizabeth Tallman, who became the mother of his children. He married third Naomi (Hunt) Lawton, a Lawton widow.
    
    "A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, Before 1692", by James Savage, gives Sarah's death date as 17 July 1718.
