Sarah Willense

The marriage of Frederick Willense to a Maria Waldron is documented, although there appear to be more than one Maria Waldron. Her ancestry appears differently in different sources. Conversely, the Frederick Willense parentage of Sarah Willense/Williams seems to arise from there being few other possibilities. We have no documentation for this connection other than finding it in various family trees online, these showing no documentation. The research connecting Sarah Willense to later generations seems solid, but her connection to earlier generations is tenuous at present.
