     Important Notes: It is not known whether the Sarah, who married John Savage, was the daughter of Obadiah or the daughrer of his brother, Richard II. Each brother had a Sarah - Obadiah's Sarah born: 06 November 1654 and Richard's Sarah born:
7 February 1656. There are three marriages attributed to Sarah Bowen: one on 16 May 1672 to John Savage, another on 29 September 1681 to Joseph Brooman & one on 27 December 1686 to Preserverence Abel. Whether all three marriages can be attributed to one Sarah or to both is unknown. It is quite possible that they belong to one Sarah and that only one of theses Sarah's lived to adulthood. Both Sarah's have had the same death date of 14 May 1703 attributed to them. Any thoughts or additional information would be greatly appreciaated.
