arah4, b. ca. 1725; living 3
Sept. 1743 when she signed the marriage certificate of her sister
Rose, but deceased before 27 July 1749, as proved by the will of
Joseph2 Landers. We can find nothing to prove whether
or not this Sarah Landers married. But, like her sister Rose, she
had one child and died soon thereafter: 1. Lois Hiller,
b. ca. 1743; d. after 13 May 1783. The will, 27 July 1749 of
Joseph2 Landers, gives "To the granddaughter of
my kinsman Amos Landers, and daughter of sd Amos’ late
daughter Sarah, sixty pounds" (Barnstable County Probates, 8:393).
By Court order, 23 July 1755, Amos Landers of Falmouth was
advised of his appointment "to be guardian unto your grand
daughter Louis [!] Hilliard a minor, with full power to take into
your custody all and singular such part and portion of the estate
as accrues to her in rt of Joseph Launder, deceased" until
she shall arrive at full age. And, as we have seen, Amos Landers’
own will gives: "To my grand daughter Lois, the daughter of
my daughter Sarah, the bed on which I lodge and bedding and the
one half of my household stuff or indoor moveables" (ibid.,
7:395, 21:104-5). She is still called Lois Hiller in John Landers’
accounting of the Amos Landers estate; the value of his bequests
to her total £15.10s.5d. [Lydia B. (Phinney) Brownson and

Mass.," NEHGR 124:213]
