The proposed union of Thomas Matthews and Sarah Hedge is discussed in detail in The Great Migration, Volume 5, pgs 93-95. Previous theories that Sarah married a James Matthews Jr are negated therein.
Two children have customarily been assigned to the probably non-existent James Matthews Jr:
1) Benjamin Matthews, b.c1668, who married Hannah Rider on Jan 16,1698/9. Benjamin died at Yarmouth,MA on Nov 4,1741.
2) Mary Matthews, b.c1670, who married John Howes on Jul 8,1691.
I believe there may have been more children of Thomas and Sarah, as I have seen some individuals referred to as "son (or daughter) of Thomas Matthews of Yarmouth" within the appropriate time frame.
