"My wife is descended from both Sarah Eliot Curtis (# 538503580) and from Sarah Unknown who married Nicholas Camp. She would like you to remove the Eliot reference from the text of your memorial.
In working on her tree, she first thought there was only Sarah Eliot who had married two husbands. When she discovered that "Sarah" had died on two widely separated dates and in two states, she determined there were two Sarahs.
She believes that your site is correct except for Sarah's birth date (unknown) and having Bennett and Lettice Eliot as parents."
History of Milford, Connecticut 1639 - 1939, Federal Writer's Project of the Work Projects Administration of the State of Connecticut, 1939.
p. 28 The first adult death was that of Sarah, wife of Nicholas Camp.
"She had twins on the second of September, 1645, and was doing well till the night of the fourth, when she was taken ill with a cold. She died on the sixth being the last day of the week in the morning and was buried the evening after in the garden of Mr. Peter Prudden, Pastour"
Known children of NICHOLAS & SARAH CAMP: Abigail (Camp) Baldwin, NICHOLAS CAMP, JR. (my ancestor), William Camp (died in Newark, NJ), Sarah Camp, and twins, Deacon Samuel Camp & John Camp
