Indigent or unemployed individuals were warned out, as were those who didn't conform to Puritan principles.4 Their five children were baptized at First Congregational Church, Westford, Worcester County, Massachusetts, in 1796, presumably all on the same day.5 She was living on 20 September 1810 when at Chelmsford the administrator of Deborah Farrar's estate was instructed to "pay to William Sanderson & Sarah his wife in her right she being a daughter ..."3
