Biography

Sarah Catherine (Punch does not list her as Sarah Catherine) was born in Lunnenburg, Nova Scotia. She was the daughter of John Certier and Catherine Vienot.

Sara and her husband appear in the marriage record of their child, Elizabeth Keddy.^[1] They also appear in the death record for their son, Caleb Keddy.^[2]

Research Notes

The information for her birth does not come from Punch as he does not list it, though he does state that she was "living in 1830". What is plausible is that this might be a record for one of the other Certier, Sertier or Sarty families in the area - more research needed.

Punch does list the children in order:

...

Catherine Regina Rachel, b. 1807

Catherine Lucy

Sarah (punch does not list her as Sarah Catherine)

Geroge Lewis, b. 1810

...

Going on this list we can estimate or infer the birthdates for Catherine Lucy and Sarah to between 1807 and 1810. If we take them in order, we can post 1808 and 1809 respectively.

For this Sarah to have lived to 100 years of age? If true then this is absolutely her profile. Still, more research needed to make sure that Kedy married this Sarah.
