Sarah Walley

Per TAG VOLUME: 64 (1989)
PAGE: 113

http://www.americanancestors.org/databases/american-genealogist-the...

Theory by Florence Harlow Barclay seems plausible. In summary:

1st: Sarah Ewer, daughter of Thomas Ewer and Sarah Learned of Kent England b. abt 1629. She marries Thomas Blossom in 1645 in Barnstable. He dies 1650. Daughter Sarah Blossom, m. John Whalley of Boston. He was the executor of the estate of Nicholas Davis of Newport, sometimes of Barnstable in 1673.

2nd: Sarah (Ewer) Blossom marries Nicholas Davis in 1651 in Barnstable? Nicholas is presented 2 Mar 1651/2 in Barnstable for having a child 5 weeks, 4 days before normal baby after marriage timetable. Thomas Ewer (brother of a Sarah Ewer Blossom) inventory apprised 1667, in it relict Hannah mentions a cow being made over to Nicholas Davis. Made a freeman in RI in 1671. Quaker records show he was formerly of Barnstable. Nicholas Davis dies by drowning in Newport in 1672. Inventory in 1673 mentions a piece of land bought of Peter Blossom (brother in law of Sarah (Ewer) Blossom) and a Thomas Lothrop (stepfather of Sarah (Ewer) Blossom).

3rd: Sarah Davis marries John Clarke by 1676 in Newport.

I did not see any revisions to the profile where this was previously considered so lets discuss?

The birthday of circa 1629 might be a bit late for a 1645 - 1650 marriage.

Throwing in:

"According to the well known genealogical work One Hundred and Sixty Allied Families,by John Osborne Austin (Salem, Massachusetts 1893), Clarke's first wife was Elizabeth Harges, daughter of John Harges. John Clarke was married three times according to this source. His second wife was Jane Fletcher, a widow, and his third wife was Sarah Davis, widow of Nicholas Davis."

Are we saying the proposal is:

Sarah Ewer (b 1629), daughter of daughter of Thomas Ewer and Sarah Learned of Kent,

Married
1) 1645 - Thomas Blossom
2) 1651 - Nicholas Davis
3) by 1676 - John Clarke

She seems of a different social class from the Clarke's?

Yes, your proposal seems correct.

How can you tell about the social class? Her daughter married a Boston lawyer and her husband was the son of a well known Leiden separatist. I admit I have not researched the line. There is a Wikitree profile proposing the same Sarah as wife of John (I had nothing to do with it and just saw it tonight).

I also saw this:

Thomas Blossom became an important member of the Pilgrim community as the first Deacon of the Church of Plymouth, but died in 1633 from an infectious fever, probably influenza.

Not the best source, LOL:
