Do not confuse Sarah Unknown, wife of James Babcock of Rhode Island, with Sarah Bourne, daughter of Thomas Bourne and wife of Rev. Nehemiah Smith. Although she has been described as Sarah Brown aka Bourn, no evidence exists to show a relationship. Her last name at birth as described by Cutter and by Effingham, is Unknown.

Biography

Sarah's own family name is unknown [1] [2]

Sarah and James Babcock had settled in the town of Portsmouth, Rhode Island by 1642.[3] James Babcock moved to Westerly, Rhode Island in 1662, Sarah's death is recorded as 1665, presumably in Westerly.[4] Actually the date should be after 18 May 1665. On that date James, with consent of his wife Sarah, sold his property in Portsmouth to Thomas Fish.[5]

I removed a bogus marriage date that was a specific date in 1638 in Rhode Island.

Since her husband is not PGM, she should not be either. Can Rhode Island (US History) pick her up so she can still have project protection?

Of course Unknown-216345 and Brown-596 are the same. Read my analysis and suggestions on Joseph Babcock. Objections?

UNKNOWN-216345 and Brown-596 do not represent the same person because: I believe this Sarah Brown was married to another James Babcock, the children listed do not match those of James Babcock-1153 : born 1612

UNKNOWN-216345 and Brown-596 appear to represent the same person because: These are intended as the same wife for James Babcock. Please read notes for Sarah UNKNOWN-216345 and note "Unknown" is correct Last Name at Birth. LNAB "Brown" in Brown-596 and the portrait simply an attempt to personalise that particular profile.
