Sarah Holly¹

• Father: Abraham Holly Jr. b. 23 Nov 1758, d. c 1830
• Mother: Bethia Ambler¹ b. 18 Jan 1757

• Birth*: Sarah was born on 6 January 1783, Bedford, Westchester, New York.^1,2,3
• She was the daughter of Abraham Holly Jr. and Bethia Ambler.¹
• Baptism: Sarah was baptized on 3 September 1786 at Bedford Congregational Church, Bedford, Westchester, New York, "Children of Abraham & Bethiah Holly -- Sept. 3, 1786. James aged 1 June 9, 1786. Sarah aged 3. January 6, 1786."^2,3
• Research Note*: We do not know that this deed belongs to this Sarah Holly. For the time being, I am assigning it to her, because the date coincides with that of Alanson selling land in the same area (Oct 1831), which leads me to suspect that their father, Abraham Jr., may have died shortly before, which may have led to this activity. Abraham, Jr. is not listed in the 1830 census.
• Property Record*: Sarah was involved in a property transaction on 17 September 1831 at Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, Know Ye, that I, Sally Holly of Ridgefield in the Society of Ridgebury in Fairfield County and State of Connecticut, for the consideration of One hundred & twenty Dollars received to my full satisfaction of David Waterbury of Stamford, in said County, do give, grant, bargain, sell and confirm unto the said David Waterbury, a certain tract of land lying in said Stamford in the Society of North Stamford containing five acres be the same more or less and is bounded north by land of John Dan & John L.
