Biography

Sarah Bear married William Bowditch on 15 September 1663 in Dorset, England -- the union was recorded at the conjoined parishes of Bothenhampton and Loders. At the time of her marriage, she was "of Wayford, County Somerset, England".

Sarah was still alive on 6 November 1705, when her son William proved his father's original will in England.
