Sarah Boardman (q.v. Boreman), dau. of Samuel Boreman and Mary Betts, b. of record Mar. 4, 1654/5 in Wethersfield, Conn. She was living in Wethersfield on Apr. 9, 1717 when the estate of her deceased husband was distributed to her, her step-dau Abigail (Fitch) Kimberly, and her own children son Samuel and Sibell (Fitch) Hurlbut. She d. of record July 2, 1746 in Guilford, Conn. as an obvious member of her son Samuel's family in Guilford, Æ 92 (g.s.)
On an unrecorded date after Nov. 1684 probably in Wethersfield, Sarah m. as his 2nd wife, Sgt. Thomas Fitch, s. of Samuel Fitch and Susanna Wiggin (latter the former wife of Maj.

Stiles' 1902 Ancient Wethersfield followed by later writers assigned Abigail as the dau. of her father's 2nd wife Sarah Boardman, an obvious error. If the latter were true, that Thomas Fitch's 1st wife d. of record in Nov. 1684 would mean that dau. Abigail could not have been born prior to late 1685, then married Abraham Kimberly of record in 1696 when barely 11 years of age.
