Sarah Hobart, eldest child of Israel and Sarah (Wetherill) Hobart, was born May 30, 1670, in Hingham, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.[1] She was still little when the Indians in 1676 burned their home on Hingham Great Plain and her family decided to move down the coast to her mother’s hometown, Scituate, in the Plymouth Colony. Their new home was at a landing on North River.
She married Francis Brock (aka Le Broche), a Frenchman, in Hingham, Massachusetts Bay in 1699. They had at least three children: Mary b. December 15, 1699; Grace b. July 27, 1701 & baptized in 1704; and Bathsheba b. May 21, 1703.[2]
Sarah passed away in Scituate on January 19, 1704/05[3] leaving Francis a widower. Francis passed away in Gloucester, Massachusetts Bay on January 1, 1714.
On April 4, 1731, her father died in Scituate [age 88].[4] leaving a will written July 14, 1729 in which he gave 15 shillings to his grand daughters Mary Withington, Grace Davis and Bathsheba Bradford, daughters of his deceased daughter Sarah Brock.[5]
