  • Name Sarah AVERY  [1
    • Note: There are conflicting sources that state who Sarah is. The "Biographical Sketches of the graduates of Yale College" Vol. I, 1732 for Shubael Conant states that he had married as his third wife, Sarah, widow of Samuel West, Jr., of Tolland, Connecticut, and daughter of Ichabod Lathrop. She died very soon, on the 21st of July, 1774. In the same book but Vol. III, 1767-68 under Nathaniel West and Jeremiah West, both state their parents were Judge Zebulon and Sarah (Avery) West. Their mother, Sarah Avery, of Groton,Connecticut, married first Dvid Sluman, of Lebanon; secondly, in 1744 Judge West, who died in 1770; thirdly, in 1774, the Hon. Shubael Conant (Yale 1732), of mansfield, Connecticut, who died in 1775; and fourthly, Captain Joel White, of Bolton, Connecticut.
      The source "Memorials of Elder John White, One of The First Settlers of Hartford, Conn., and of His Descendants", in reference to Joel White, pg. 64 and 65, states he married, 4th, 1778, Mrs. Sarah Conant, widow of (Shubael?) Conant, Esq., of Mansfield, Conn. It is supposed that her family name was Avery, and that she was originally of Groton, Conn. Her first husband was David Sluman of Lebanon. Her second husband was Hon. Zebulon West of Tolland.
