Note

William Rockwell's Revolutionary pension file contains evidence of Sarah's death issued from Westchester, NY (North Salem is the town). It is possible that this court location was simply more convenient than courts in Fairfield, CT might have been. However, it makes me wonder if she actually died in NYS rather than CT
