Sarah Stone

• General Notes
  • Sarah Stone & 2 husbands: Henry Howard & Thomas Butler, Sgt. Sarah Stone born about April 3, 1625 All Saints, Hertford, Hertfordshire, England and died after 1719 in Connecticut – married September 28, 1648 in Wethersfield Twp, Hartford County, Connecticut to possibly first Henry Howard born about 1623 in England and died March 17, 1709 in Hartford, Wethersfield , Connecticut (his will dated 20 January, 1707-8 – proved april 4, 1709)- Henry arrived in America in 1634 aboard the ‘Francis’ at age 7 or 8 years, under the care of John Barnard. Henry’s residences Hartford and later Wethersfield; he was a malster from Wethersfield. They had 6 (or 9 or 13) children (1 set of twins). Sarah married possibly second Thomas Butler, Sgt. born about 1637 in Hartford, Suffolk County, Connecticut and died August 29, 1688 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut – married 1658 in Hartford, Connecticut. Thomas and Sarah were married and lived in Hartford, CT. In town records, Thomas was a ‘chimney viewer’ in 1667-1668 and a ‘townsman’ in 1682-83. He received an ‘upper lot in the Long Meadow’ in his father's will of 1677. They had 12 (or 15 or 22 children) (dates 1661 to 1687 with a possibility of 3 sets of twins). I am wondering if Sarah had 2 husbands and how many children did she actually have? My line of descent is Mary Howard m. Thomas Griswold... I show Sarah Stone’s father was: Samuel Stone, Reverend born July 30, 1602 in Hertford, Hertfordshire, England; came in 1633 in the ‘Griffin.’ He removed as a settler to Hartford in 1636 with the Thomas Hooker Congregation and was Pastor of the First Church after the death of Thomas Hooker; he served as Chaplain to the troops under Captain Mason in the Pequot War in 1637 and he died July 20, 1663; his first wife, Sarah’s mother died in 1640. Sarah was raised by Richard Webb (1580-1656), probably after the death of her mother. Richard lived in Hartford for only a couple of years before moving to Norwalk. (Richard Webb - he died [1665] leaving no children but took Sarah, daughter of Rev. Samuel Stone, and brought her up, until she married Thomas Butler of Hartford.)
