Sarah (surname unknown), wife of Rev. John Jones of Fairfield, Connecticut, was born about 1601 in England, possibly in Northamptonshire, where her husband grew up. She married by 1619, Rev John Jones. They had ten children. The eldest child, Sarah, was born about 1619/20.^[1] Their next five children were baptized at Abbot's Ripton, Huntingdonshire, the following three were baptized at St. Stephens, Coleman Street, London, and the last and youngest was born at Concord, Massachusetts, in January of 1640/01.^[1] "Records of the marriage of John Jones and his wife Sarah... have not yet been located" [1996].^[1]
