-- [ From: Doug Gordon * EMC.Ver #3.1a PRODIGY ] -- Don: My information comes from the book "Robey/Roby/Robie, The Family History from England to America" by William G. Robey. It is a very long and detailed book in two volumes. According to this book, the John Robey who was "our" Sarah Robey's father was married to Sarah Hines Luckett. However, John also had a son named John Robey (b: 1686) who married Sarah Berry (b: abt 1695). In other words, there was a Sarah Berry but she is not part of the Darnall lineage. There were a lot of John Robey's around in those days, so it's no wonder that there is some confusion. I hope that this clears things up, assuming that it is accurate.
