Sarah Kirby

     Sarah was born in 1638 at Sandwich, Cape Cod, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Richard Kirby [Curby] and Jane (?) In Sandwich on 3 February 1657, Sarah and her sister, Jane, were ordered to court for having caused a disturbance at worship. At the same court William Allen and Richard Kirby were also ordered to appear for the same complaint. At the next court session held on 5 March, Sarah and Jane were given punishments to be whipped. Sarah did receive the punishment, but Jane was excused from the whipping as long as she no longer practiced the “disturbances.”.¹ Sarah married Matthew Allen on 5 June 1657 in Sandwich, Cape Cod, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Matthew and Sarah had children: Dorothy [4/08/1659] [m. John Colvin], Miriam [June 1661] [m.
