"Sarah Burt was born in Harberton, Devonshire, England, where she was baptised on Jan. 14, 1620.
She was named in the July 11, 1689 Will of her 2nd husband, Henry Wakelee/Wakely. He died in 1690 and the Will was proved on Nov. 8, 1690.
The biographies regarding Sarah (Burt) Gregory/Wakelee claim that she outlived her 2nd husband. No record of her death has been found, but different researchers have listed her death date as 1696 and also as 1711."

***********************************

Sarah's son Deliverance Wakely 1651-1707 mentions his "aged mother Sarah" in his will and left her the use for the rest of her natural life his dwelling..." This will was written signed and sealed by Deliverance in his own hand on 15 October 1707 which indicates that at that time Sarah was still alive.

"The Henry Gregory, of Boston, N. E., whom we find mentioned in the foregoing pedigree, was at Springfield 1639, and removed in a few years to Stratford, Ct. Savage says that he probably died soon after, as a distribution of his estate was ordered 19 June, 1655, his eldest son John being appointed administrator, and to receive double portion, and that no other children are mentioned; though perhaps Judah Gregory, of Springfield, who m. 1643, Sarah, dau. of Henry Burt, was another son.

There is a memorial created in 2016 for Sarah and Henry Wakelee in the Old Congregational Burial Ground in Stratford CT. As to date no death date or burial records have been found on Sarah so I am attempting to find out more information. If that is the case this memorial will be deleted after hopefully transferring the info contained on this page.
