Sarah Roberts was born to John Roberts and Martha. "Sarah wife of Daniel Russell" is named in her father John Roberts' Will.
Sarah was born about 1770. She is the oldest daughter, perhaps oldest child, of John Roberts and Martha Unknown.
(Date of 1790 for John Roberts's will is not correct. In all likelihood that date of 1790 has to be later since his daughter Sarah did not marry Daniel Russell until 1796 so the correct date of the will is after that date. It is possible that the transcribed date is 1798 with the 8 being mistaken for a 0. The following transcription of the will is different than one I had previously seen. M McClintock)
