Biography

She is referenced as Susanna in everything except her marriage to Edward Wentworth Jr - which she is named as Sarah.

Susan Roser's. Mayflower Births and Deaths: From the Files of George Ernest Bowman at the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants. Volumes 1 & 2. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1992. erroneously conflates Sarah Winslow with her mother Sarah Hayward and lists Edward as his mother-in-law's husband. Vital records and the Wentworth genealogy correct this error.

Edward(20. II), son of John and Martha Wentworth, lived in Stoughton, Mass. In 1749, he was called "innholder." He married, 1st, Kezia, daughter of Benjamin Blackman of Stoughton. She died 10 October, 1745, aged 52. Her father survived her, making his will 14 November 1748, which was proved 11 July, 1749.
Edward married, 2d, in 1746, Sarah, (daughter of Josiah Winslow, of Freetown, Mass., whose wife was Sarah, daughter of John Hayward, Jr., of Bridgewater, Mass.)
She survived him and administered upon his estate.
He died at Stoughton, 12 February, 1767, age not known.
His inventory amounted to £278 18s, 11d. ^[1]

Edward Wentworth, son of Edward and Keziah (Blackman) Wentworth, was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts, 1 July, 1729. He married (1), 28 July, 1752, the widow Susanna (Winslow) Symmes, of Stoughton, born 6 October, 1724, daughter of Josiah and Sarah (Hayward) Winslow. She died in May, 1780. Wentworth married (2), 24 September, 1780, Mary Reed of Boston, who died there 24 March, 1800, aged 68. His name appears in the List of Loyalists, and also, in company with the Rev. Dr. Byles and other worthies, in the List given above. He is also of enough consequence to be accorded by Sabine a place in his Appendix.' His residence, his apprehension, the Court where he was tried, and the time, appear clearly by the Town Records, above cited. The record of his trial is not to be found. Ten detached leaves are all that remain of the Records of the Court of Sessions from April, 1776, to July, 1780, and a part of these were discovered in the Miscellaneous Collection described in a previous communication, and restored to appropriate companionship. According to Sabine, be was one of the citizens of Boston arrested by order of the Council, in April, 1776. He appears to have been found guilty, at a special sitting of the General Sessions of the Peace, in June, 1777, and to have been sent on board the guardship. He died, in consequence of a broken leg, at the age of 65 years, and was buried in Boston, 9 July, 1794.^[5]
