SARAH JAMES

(ca. 1690/1692-1727) - Lynn, Essex co., MA

(Third Generation - James Family)

FATHER	MOTHER
CAPTAIN BENJAMIN JAMES	SARAH LINDSEY

BIRTH	was born between her parents¹ marriage on 10 April 1690 and her father¹s second marriage on 24 November 1692.
DEATH	She died on 8 February 1727 in Lynn, Essex co., MA[14,15].
LEGAL MENTION	In 1762 her name comes up in legal proceedings: ³these children, viz.: David Newhall of Boston, mariner, and Mary Newhall of Boston, singlewoman, children and heirs of Mary Newhall, deceased, convey a lot in Marblehead assigned to Sarah Burchsted in the division of the estate of her father, Capt. Benjamin James, deceased[16]. These children were her grandchildren by her daughter Mary.
MARRIAGE	In 1713 Sarah married Dr. Henry BURCHSTED, son of Dr. John Henry BURCHSTED & Mary RAND, in Boston, Suffolk co., MA[17,18]. An intention of marriage was also filed on 12 September 1713 in Lynn, Essex co., MA as ³Henry Burchstead of Lynn & Sarah James of Lynn². Their official marriage record reads: ³Bursted, Henry, and Mrs. Sarah Jeames². Henry second married Anna BREAM on 20 May 1728. It is interesting that all his children - even though he had with Anna - were officially recorded as children of ³Henry and Sarah² in the Lynn, Essex co., MA vital records. Only by sorting them via date of birth can one determine whether they were children of Sarah James Burchsted or Anna Bream Burchsted.
