A Sarah Rich was born about 1676 -- location uncertain -- to the senior Richard Rich & wife Sarah (Roberts) Rich; she married Isaac Baker at Eastham in 1702, so she certainly was not born in or close to 1691. A later Sarah Rich was born at Eastham in 1712 to Thomas & Mercy (Knowles) Rich. I do not find another person by this name whose birth is recorded, and the record transcribed, in Massachusetts Bay or Plymouth Colony in the assigned period.
I am thus respectfully proposing that Rich-3809 is in fact a duplicate profile and should be merged into Rich-3666, the lower-numbered profile... but preserving all contents of Rich-3809, which to the best of my knowledge is accurate in its presentation of data. I would also suggest that the different (estimated) DOB of 1691, and the indicated residence "of Middleboro", be retained from Rich-3666 and incorporated in a Research Notes section.
If any source is then subsequently located that demonstrates the existence of another Sarah Rich, "of Middleboro", born in or near 1691, a new profile can always be created, citing that source.
It is most likely that this profile should be merged into Rich-3666 (which has the lower number) -- but _retaining all the data and text from this profile_, which to the best of my knowledge is accurate (whereas Rich-3666 has very little data, and as far as I can tell, what's there is inaccurate).
I can add sources to this profile from NEHGS (americanancestors.org) if you would like; they're behind a paywall, but I can include the critical short sections of text that apply, so that profile visitors who do not have an NEHGS subscription will be able to see the exact wording. Just reply to this comment, or send me a private message, if you'd like me to do the homework.
If the former is the case, the merge should not happen: instead, the date and location of birth should be corrected, as indicated above.
If the latter is the case, then the merge should proceed.
I will also message the PM of Rich-3666 and put the above question to her.
I believe that this earlier Sarah may ultimately have had some connection to Middleboro (I now note that in the data section, she is shown as "of Middleboro" -- rather than as having necessarily been born there) by way of one of her two husbands, David Doane or Thomas Thatcher. I'm trying to relocate the source that left me with that impression.
I am inclined to propose that merge but would be happiest if the PM of this profile first weighs in on the question of (pardon my phrasing) which Rich is which. :o)
