Sarah Wright was born in 1685, the daughter of Edmund and Sarah (Wright) Wright of Oyster Bay, NY[1]
Circa 1716, she married Samuel Birdsall, the son of Benjamin Birdsall and Mercy Forman of Oyster Bay[1] [2] [3]. Doherty notes that a few sources mistakenly name her as Rose[4], however NYGBR (1934) page 120-121 provides a bible record for the marriage of Sarah Wright and Samuel Birdsall[2]
Their children included:
She died before 1726, when her husband remarried. [5] Birdsall Bible records, [Long Island Source Records, p. 443] clearly states that "Sarah Birdsall wife of Samuel Birdsall dafter to Edmond and Sarah Wright departed this life December the 13th day in the 70th year of her age, 1754" 2nd marriage must be questioned.

DO NOT ADD PARENTS BEFORE MERGING. The (correct) parents on Wright-18555 will end up being the parents of the merged profile. Thanks!
So, thank you for fixing it.

which includes this information: "A family tree on Geni, Ancestry, MyHeritage, Family Search, or any other user-generated tree (like WikiTree itself) is not a sufficient source for creating a pre-1700 profile. They may be valuable resources and may help you find original, reliable sources, but they must never be the only source."
