Biography
Findagrave lists her maiden name as Hartwell, but this has not been confirmed by primary sources. It also lists her with a middle name Rose, but is there any source confirming that?
Torrey lists her first name as uncertain and no last name with these source notations:[1]
FLETCHER, Robert (1592-1677) & [?Sarah] ____; in Eng, by 1620?; Concord
- Blake-Glidden 98
- Bridges Anc. 101

- Fletcher (ms)
- Ashburnham 700
- Warren (,5) 51
- Backus Anc. 81
- Botsford-Marble 180
See this Wikitree G2G discussion on Sara, wife of Robert Fletcher.
Children of Robert Fletcher and Sarah are:
- Grissel aka Carey Fletcher (1618-1699);
- Francis Fletcher (1620-1704);
- William Fletcher (1622-1677);
- Luke Fletcher (1625-1655);
- Samuel Fletcher (1632-1697).
Sara was not mentioned in her husband's will written 4 Feb 1672 so is presumed to have died by that date. Findagrave, for some reason, lists her death date as 12 May 1677.

I've pored over the will of Robert Fletcher and it appears that his wife is very clearly mentioned in it. In part: "...it is my will that my sonn Francis and his loving and [unreadable] wife doe take the spetiall care of my loving wife for as long as the lord shall continue her..." Let me know if you read it differently. I think her death date should be changed to after 4 Feb 1672. Thanks!
