Awhile ago, I wrote about Sarah, wife of David Jenners, and my frustrations regarding proving her maiden name was Buttrick.
I was recently contacted by one of her descendants through her daughter, Mary (Jenners) Winn, asking if I'd found any proof of the Buttrick surname, so I reviewed my research. All my information was from secondary sources.
So I went on-line and started doing a bit more digging and specifically looking at Mary (Jenners) Winn.
That is when I found it: the Death Register for Concord, Massachusetts in 1872 listing the death of Mary Winn on November 17th, 1872. It lists her parents as "Abiel Jenners born in Concord" and "Sarah (Buttrick) Jenners born in Concord." See the 5th line from the bottom of the document shown below.
While her father was David Jenners, not Abiel, I think it is an excellent piece of proof that Sarah was indeed, Sarah Buttrick.
