Note: There is conflicting information on Sarah's birth date between sources.

• There is a poorly transcribed baptismal record.^[8]. This is likely the source that Early Families of Milford, on page 621 cites "Sarah - bpt. 14 June 1674..."^[9]

• The Barbour Collection for the town of Derby, CT, page 284 has two listings for a Sarah, daughter of Samuel: 1) Sarah, d Samuel b. Jan. 1672; d. Jan. 1672, and 2) ___ ah, d. Samuel b. Feb. 24, 1683. This source indicates that there may have been two daughters. A daughter Sarah who was born and died in 1672, a Sarah, dau. Samuel, b. "3", and ...ah, dau. of Samuel who was born in 1683 (may be Hannah)^[10] This is probably the source for the birth date in the Lum genealogy, "Sarah Riggs, b. Feb. 24, 1683."^[7],
