| BIRTH | was born in 1607[2,41], probably in Bermondsey Surrey, England. |
| DEATH & BURIAL | She died sometime after 1649, when he youngest child was born. |
| MIGRATION | The Ewer family came over on the James, Mr. John May, master. Passengers on this trip embarked in London, Middlesex, England from 19 June-13 July. The Ewer family is first on the manifest and is listed as ³Thomas Ewer, tailor, 40; Sara Ewer, 28; Elizabeth Ewer, 4; Thomas Ewer, 1.5² [63,67,68]. |
| RESIDENCE | They settled in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA where Thomas Ewer co-owned with Thomas Squire a ³10-acre lot at Mystic side of Joseph Hubbard; and another of same lots² in 1637[44]. Sarah was admitted to the church at Charlestown on 12d:10m(December):1635/6[44] and Thomas was admitted to the church at Charlestown on 8d:11m(January):1635/6[44]. He made Freeman on 3 March 1635/6 -- the first in a sequence of three Charlestown men to take the Oath on that date[41,66]. Sarah must have been a strong, savvy woman, for on 4 December 1638, ³[blank] Ewar was allowed executrix of her husband, Thom[as] Ewar, deceased²[42,43]. Thus, in the 1638 Charlestown Book Of Possessions, Sarah was listed as the owner of 11 lots: a house in Middle Row, right next to the Market Place and Dock Lane; ³3 roods² in East Field with a house; 1.5 acres in High Field; 2 acres at the South Meade; 6.25 cow commons; 8 acres in Line Field; 5 acres in the Mystic Marshes; 5 acres of woods by the driftway; another 5 acres of woods near the driftway towards the North River; 25 acres of woods near the common and Long Meade; and 60 acres in Rock Field[45,46,47]. ³In 1639, ³Sarah Ewer, widow, sole executrix of Thomas Ewer, deceased, bargained and sold unto Francis Willoughby of Charltowne, one dwelling house, with a garden plat, situate in the middle row, butting south and west upon the market place²[43,47,48]. Sarah either had moved or then moved to Barnstable, Barnstable co., MA, where she married Thomas Lothrop[44]. |
| CHURCH MEMBERSHIP | Sarah was admitted to the church at Charlestown on 12d:10m(December):1635/6[44] and |
| MARRIAGE #1 | On 13 January 1623/4 when Sarah was 16, she first married Thomas EWER, in St. Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, Surrey, England[2,49,50,51,52,53,24,54,55,28,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,41]. Thomas was born in 1593 in Strood, Kent, England[2,63] and was baptized there on 10 March 1592/3[41]. He died in Charlestown, Suffolk co., MA in 1638; he was 45[44,55,64]. Actually, he died sometime after 5 June 1638 -- when his name appears in the records -- and before 20 August 1638. Variations on his surname include Ewer, Ewre and Ewar. Thomas lost his first wife and all three children by her -- presumably to illness -- before he married Sarah. |
