arah Conant was born approx. 1628. She is mentioned in the will of her grandfather, Richard Conant, dated Nov. 20, 1629. Sarah is mentioned in the will of her grandmother Catherine Horton along with her brother Caleb. The fact that Sarah had a sister also named Sarah who died in 1620 adds confusion to Catherine’s will naming her as an heir because Catherine only knew of two siblings of Roger thus misplacing Lot and his brother Roger. This will of Catherine Horton tells us that Sarah must have been the next child born after Caleb, thus the first born in New England, say in 1624. Lot and Roger must therefore be shifted in the sequence of the children of Roger and Sarah, and their approximated dates of birth adjusted accordingly. [RWHITNEY.GED]
