It seems likely that a second Sarah Lawson was born as the mentioned Sarah Lawson was dead 9 years before Francis Sheffield's will was written.

We might presume another Sarah was born after 1720, but have no evidence of it which seems a bit odd since the other records are there though it wouldn't be the first time. Perhaps the death record was incorrectly named/dated too. Don't know? Updated notes to reflect discrepancy until new information becomes available. Might have to purchase Lawson birth/baptism and burial recs to find the records from BucksFHS - but NMF (not my family)!
