I have in my records that the Sarah Hodgson who married Joseph Wood was
the daughter of Robert Hodgson and Sarah Bordon. Thus, the will of
Sarah Hodgson seems to be that of Sarah Bordon and the Sarah Wood is
indeed her granddaughter via her daughter Sarah. So, 3 Sarah's.

Apparently, Sarah (Hodgson) WOOD died the year before her mother,
which is why she is not mentioned in her mother's will.


Isn't all this wonderfully confusing?
