Will of Sarah (Beale) Vergason
"In the name of God amen I Sarah Vergason of the town of Bozrah in the
County of New London and State of Connecticut being of sound mind and
memorey (blefsed be Almighty God for the same) to make and publish
this
my last will and testament.
I give and devise all my real estate to William Palmer Rose and Caroline
Matilda Rose (the son in law and daugher of my deceased sister Mrs.
Susannah Vergason) during their natural life, then to their heirs at
law. I likewise give and bequeath all my personal estate to William
Palmer Rose and Caroline Matilda Rose, the same as described above,
during their natural life, then to their heirs at law. I do nominate
and appoint George Lathrop and William Palmer Rose to be executors
to
this my last Will and testament. In testemony whereof I hereunto
set my
hand and seal and publish and decree this to be my last Will and
testament in presence of the witnefses named below this 10th day of
June
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty three.
(signed with her mark and witnesses given as Joshua Maples, Seth
Whiting, and Elisha Maples)
As another note: I have a record of a Sarah Savage? married to Christian
Yergerson (later records give name as Vergerson). Christian died
in the
1810's and Sarah remarries but is listed in the 1820 U.S. Census with
four children (3 boys & 1 girl). I believe Christian may
be the
youngest brother of Jedediah.
My father's lineage ties to the religous movement of Rev. John Lathrop.
His ancestor, Edward FitzRandolph came to Scituate and married Elizabeth
Blossom whose family was part of the original Mayflower Compact.
Edward
and his family relocate to Barnstable as well.
Hope some of this information helps.

P.S. Do you know who George Lathrop would be that is listed as
an
executor in Sarah (Beale) Vergason's will?
