  2. [S506] Note: In the will of her husband, Anthony, he mentions his wife as being named Sarah. In a letter of their son's wife, Hannah Bowne, which she wrote before her marriage, she says ... Benjamin, youngest son of my friend, Susannah Field. Benjamin & Hannah name a daughter Sarah not Susannah. This adds complicatons as to the name of Anthony's wife. Some researchers say that Hannah was refering to Anthony's brother, Robert's wife, Susanna & their son, Benjamin. They then believe she married Benjamin, son of Anthony.
