Sept. 29, 1641 There was a Partridge family who were influencial in early New Hampshir e ; one was colonial govenor. Could Sarah be of this family? My reason f o r thinking this is that another prominent family was Whitmore; one of t he se was govenor too. Sarah's mother-in-law was named Whitmore. There w a s a Samuel Allen involved too, unrelated, so those ancestors must be so rt ed out. both Sarah and Anne do not fit with any families known in Mass ach usetts at the time.
