Judith Tooman wrote a brief summary on the children of Joshua Barnes and
sent it to Richard Baldwin of the Suffolk County Historical Society in 1996.
Definite evidence of Sarah's parentage has not been found but the
possibility was raised that she may have been a daughter of Joshua. The
summary points out that the wife of Joshua Barnes was named Amy, as was one
of his daughters, and John and Sarah (Barnes) Salmon named a daughter Amy.

The Underhill Genealogy (Vol. VI), compiled by Edwin R. Deats, and edited by
Harry Macy, Jr. says that Capt. Humphrey Underhill was in Jamaica by 20 Dec
1669, and..."It was there that he married Sarah, widow of one of Jamaica's
ubiquitous Smiths. Neither her maiden name nor the first name of her Smith
husband is known, but Mrs. Frost" [Josephine Knapp Frost] "suspected she was
a sister of John Rowlesson, a Dutchman to whom Humphrey sold his Jamaica
house and some twenty acres, Sept. 14, 1675." [p. 1072]
