It just seemed unusual that the unproven child was born in the same year that Sarah died,(at the age of 21). Maybe a second wife came in to raise the child, also named Sarah. It is so frustrating that people back then keep naming kids over and over with the same names and they had fewer surnames back then and lots of children!!!
