Wife of John Read of Braintree and Rehoboth. In Nov. 1644 she and her husband gave a letter of attorney to receive "all deb[ts] duties gifts Legacie due to either of them" as "Sarah his wife the daughter of Will Lessie of Blyborough in Suffolke" (Aspinwall Notarial Records p. 11). "Blyborough in Suffolke" is presumably Blythburgh, Suffolk; the Blyborough in Lincolnshire is ruled out by the record's "Suffolke" (inference).
