129. Sarah Loomis
Sarah Loomis reportedly had more than one husband, remarrying a number of times, but details are unknown. One source lists one of the husbands as a Mr. Willard.
After the death of his mother, he was raised by his uncle, Benjamin Roberts of Hartford. He died intestate. No issue.
He was ensign, 1752; 1st Lieut, in invasion of Canada, 1758; Capt. 1761. One of his great-great-grandsons is Oliver Patridge Dickinson, of Chicago. IL He owned at least one slave, a negro man. See N. E . H. & Gen. Reg., Vol. LII.
During the Revolution, he was a second lieutenant in Col. Ward's regiment, which serviced with Washington for one year from 14 May 1776 at Fort Lee and White Plains, NY, and was in the battles of Princeton & Trenton (Connecticut Men in the Revolution, p. 109).
Rachel Wright Loomis died eleven days after the birth of their third child, Christiana, possibly due to complications during the delivery of the child.
At least one source states her surname was Lathrop. There is evidence that she was born Martha Perkins, daughter of Deacon Joseph Perkins (b: 21 Jun 1674 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts) and Martha Morgan (b: 20 Mar 1681 in New London, New London, Connecticut) and that she was married to (1) Thomas Todd and (2) Solomon Lothrop (b: 13 Dec 1706 in Norwich, New London, Connecticut, m. 6 Feb 1729 in probably Norwich, New London, Connecticut) and then (3) to Capt.
