Death
Death:
Date: 13 SEP 1774
Place: Plymouth, Grafton County, New Hampshire
Note: though the Plymouth town death record calls her, "Mary Powers, wife ofNahum" and Wheat Genealogy (1960) says she died young, both of whichjust further the confusion of Sarah with her sister Mary who may wellhave died young, her children's birth records make it clear she wasnamed Sarah[1][2][3]
Note
Note: The best analysis I've seen for the name of the wife of Nahum Powers isin the transcription of the Plymouth, N.H. Vital Records which statesthat based on the birth records of her children her name was Sarah
Note: though some sources say her name was Mary and one, Powers PaternalAncestry, inaccurately says she was Mary (Ball) Wheat, the widow ofThomas Wheat, and mother of Sarah Wheat.[4][5][6][7][8]
