I think I need to start a new discussion for Sarah Martin (1738-1825) wife of John Pound III (1735-1789). I have an approved Colonial Dames of the XVII th Century which shows different parents for Sarah Martin. These applications are sent in from descendants with proofs & checked by genealogists. It was approved in 2012. John Martin 1618-1687 is also my ancestor.
Please give me some guidance as how to go about this. I have seen some notes in the past but can't remember where to look. Thanks Faustine

Also, to make thinks more complicated, the "other" Sarah Martin has 2 husbands so it is possible that there really are two different Sarah Martins.

Thomas Pound

Sarah MARTIN

Sarah Martin

Here are 1 Thomas Pound & 2 Sarah Martins

John Pound [son of Thomas]

Actually John is the husband, Thomas seems to be father & son. This is a little confusing. Sorry about that.

The Colonial Dames application that am looking at start with John Martin / Esther Roberts
John Martin, Sr.

Sarah Jane Kester
Rev. John Pound
Unknown Profile
John Martin, of Piscataway

Here are the links for 2 Sarah Martins & 1 John Pound.
John Martin is the immigrant that is the ancestor of Sarah Martin (I believe)

Is it possible to see birth and marriage records for the Sarah Martin who married Thomas Pound?

For what it's worth other family trees have Thomas & Elizabeth Moreton as her parents.

THE POUND AND KESTER FAMILIES, John E Hunt, 1904 does not name her parents

The application shows Sarah Martin to be the second wife of John Pound III., married in 1764 Maryland.

Also shows son Thomas, husband of Sarah Kester

The proofs I listed on Sarah Martin's profile are all the evidence I see on the application.

(That would link parents with daughter)

OK this is where the Moreton parents come from

Baptism: Mar 4 1738 Newcastle, Staffordshire, England Ancestral File Number: B77X-8R

But your quite excellent source, a will index, notes:
Proofs for parents "Calendar of NJ Wills, Vol III 1751-1760, A. V. D. Honeyman, 2008: 217; First Settlers of Ye Plantations of Piscataway/ Woodbridge Olde East New Jersey, Part Two, O. E. Monnette: 229, 239

Sarah Martin's family was in America by 1647.

I'm already convinced.:)

Doesn't shed further light really but a good compilation for the family, so noting it here

I'm also laying some Geni zombies to rest for you.

I've already made my decision - the Thomas & Elizabeth parent suggestion is incoherent based on geography.

I just found a cool story

 
461.     Sarah Martin was born 04 Mar 1737/1738 in Newcastle England. She died after 1825 in Elk Creek, Spencer Co. KY.
 
"The maiden name of my mother's mother was Sarah Martin. She was married three times. Her first husband was Pound, her second Stilgar, and the third was my grandfather William Kester. My Mother was born in Maryland October 4, 1773. She came down the Ohio River on a flatboat and landed at a place called Limestone (now Maysville). From there they were escorted by a company of men to Bryan's Station, near Lexington, and from there moved to Coxe's station. Here she raised cotton, carded it by hand cards, spun and wove it and made her wedding dress of it and afterwards loaned it to others to be married in.”

Faustine and I think there might be an updated Familysearch.org record you could download, I'm seeing this:

!BIRTH-MAR DEATH: Family Search records submitted by Russell L. STARK, 610 E. Broadway, Newton, KS, 67114, microfilm 1394137.

Sarah parents listed as Peter Martin and Sarah by Jeanette Rhodes.

FamilySearch doesn't like iPad - maybe it's worth a search though.
