Sarah Treat, daughter of Richard Treat and Sarah Coleman, was born June 8, 1664 in Wethersfield, and died January 6, 1711/12 in Wethersfield. She was the first wife of Capt. Ephraim Goodrich, married in Wethersfield on 20 May 1684.  They had seven children:  Richard, Thomas, Ephraim, Gideon, Sarah, William and David.  He married second to Jerusha Treat, widow of Capt. Thomas Welles.

I sometimes see double dating used in vital records or town records, but not often do I see double dating on gravestones.  Click HERE for an explanation of why double dating was used before 1752.

Another example of the old style calendar on a gravestone in Portsmouth, New Hampshire can be seen HERE.
