Biography

A DAR application indicates she may have been born in Stratford, Connecticut.

"Sarah 2 (William 1 ), born at Stratford, Connecticut about 1640; died before 1692; married, 8 June 1668, Obadiah Dickinson, died 1698, son of Nathaniel Dickinson of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Obadiah shared an eight acre home-lot with Samuel Kellogg, Sr. of Hadley, Massachusetts; this he acquired the year before he married.

We next hear of them, in the records of the Indian attack on Hatfield, Massachusetts Sept 1677, during which their home entered, and Obadiah and one of his children were taken captives; Sarah was severely burned and left dead, and their house and barn burned. The following spring, arrangements were made for the return on the captives. Children: (Dickinsons)

  • i. Sarah, b. 20 Aug. 1669; m.--- Smith.
  • ii. Obadiah b. 29 Jan. 1672; he was considered dead before march 1700, when his estate was settled; it inventoried, L 55-02s. and included, 92 pieces of gold which came from Madagascar. In his father’s will, he was referred to as “ the one whom we know not, whether alive or dead.”

The 1706 death record seems wrong, since her husband married his second wife about 1690.

My notes say that Sarah died in September 1677, from a wound suffered in an Indian attack, Hatfield, Massachusetts.

P.S. I just noticed that the biography has this information, so I will change the death date.
