Disambiguation

A Baker family tree reports that Sarah married, as his second wife, John Baker, son of Joshua and Hannah (Tongue) Baker, on 27 Mar 1705 at Roxbury, Litchfield, CT. They do seem to have gotten married at some date, but no record of that 1705 event has been found, and John and Sarah Baker had at least one child, Comfort, on 11 Oct 1704, six months before that purported marriage date, probably had another in 1703. The difficulty arises from the presence in Woodbury of two men of almost the same age called John Baker, as explained thoroughly in a 1950 article by Donald Lines Jacobus accessible on googlebooks^[1] which concludes that "the records prove that (John Baker's) one and only wife was Sarah Hurlbut."

Marriage

John Baker married Sarah Hurlbut/Hurlburt, daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Brown, presumably by 1702, since their first child John was baptized 11 April 1703.
