# Name: Sarah Bass 1
# Sex: F
# Birth: 26 APR 1643 in Braintree, Norfolk, Ma
# Death: AFT SEP 1739
# Note:
Not "Mary" born Apr.26,1643 at Braintree (Boston Returns, as given in Register Vol.3 call her Mary) m. 1st about 1662, Dea. John2Stone of Watertown (Simon1) m. 2nd May 10,1693 at Braintree, Dea. Joseph Penniman. Rev. John Hancock in his "Century Sermons" delivered Sep.16,1739 (Published 1739, p.25-16) states in speaking of Dea. Bass that "Mrs. Sarah Penniman his youngest daughter and select of Deacon Penniman, and formerly wife of Deacon Stone of Watertown is now living among us, and was at our communion this day, in good health and of a sound mind. She was baptized in this church Apr.30,1643, received to communion May 4,1662. She is now at least in the 97 year of her life".
This statement shows that Sarah, not Mary (who married in 1647) was the one born April 26, and baptized April 30,1643 in Braintree. Also from the notes of Rev. Mr. Hancock's two Sermons it appears that she was the first recorded child baptized by Rev. Henry Flynt, whose records commenced April 30,1643 (note on p.22) and ran to Mar.1,1667/8, but are now lost. How long she lived after Sep. 1739 is not known as there is no record of her death.
