  • Notes 
    • According to Willard Clarkson Chase, Sarah Proctor's parents were John Proctor and Mary Newhall. If this is true (and I would think Willard would know who his great grandparents were), then there must've been 2 John Proctors - one who married Mary Newhall and another who married Joanna Tarbox. This is the conclusion I'm drawing based upon Willard's grandmother's age based upon all the data I've seen. She would have been a child of Joanna Tarbox if John Proctor married twice - 7 years into that marriage. Documents mention only one child, Joseph.

      11 Oct 2014: I've concluded that Willard Chase had it wrong. There's is just too much evidence that points to Sarah as the daughter of Thomas and Jane. He probably knew his Proctor great-grandfather served in the Revolution, but picked the wrong one. Thomas also served in the Revolution.

      The evidence for Thomas & Jane: Wm. K. Chase's death record says his mother was from Marblehead. He is also named for Sarah's uncle William Kentisbear, her mother's sister Ruth's husband, who had recently died. Sarah's age at death ties in with the baptism of Thomas' & Jane's daughter Sarah. Sarah's sister Mary Dupee, who also had parents Thomas & Jane, was living with Sarah and her son Amos in 1850.

      The evidence against John & Mary: John married his 2nd wife Joanna before Sarah would have been born.

      I think Willard really wanted to become a member of the SAR and found the only Proctor that fit having served in the American Revolution. He didn't see Thomas' record.

      1 Sep 2016: I've seen other SAR applications that have incorrect or missing information so they are only as accurate as the individuals who have filled them out.
