Notes
for Sarah WHEATON:
Mrs
GIBBONS of Colesworthy House in Devon suggests that Sarah was married to
Unknown BABB. We have been unable to
find this marriage either in registers, in the Devon Marriage Index, or on the
IGI. Michael BROWNING states that she is
not named in her father's Will. Sarah is
therefore shown as having died in 1787.
A
Sarah BABB is mentioned in Land Documents and was probably living in Barrington
Street, Tiverton, Devon in 1851 as a widow, born in Honiton age 63. It could be that alterations will have to when
further information is to hand.
