I believe Sarah's father, Joshua Sears died there 27 Sept 1753 and maybe even his mother, Rebecca Mayo Hitchcock later?? Thank you so much for any help on this family. Janet Buchanan Hello Janet, Me too - I have tired to find the marriage of Samuel and Sarah - My line is their first son Ebenezer born 1767 - Did you mean to say 'Rebecca Mayo Sears' and not Hitchcock?
