I think that his daughter Sarah is probably Sarah (How) Taft (abt.1742-1789). Evidence includes birth date, geography, and the presence of the name Abisha in both family groups. Sarah How(e) was a common name, so this evidence is hardly proof of identity; there are birth records in Massachusetts for other girls of this name in 1742, but the others are not nearly as close geographically.
