Biography
Sarah Nutt was baptized Barking, Suffolk, England, 19 Sep 1624.[1]
Sarah Nutt married (1) 5 November 1644, John Wyman, and (2) 25 August 1684, as his 2nd wife, Thomas Fuller.[2][3]
She died May 24, 1688.[3]
Research Notes
1. Sarah's birthplaceSome have suggested that Sarah's birthplace was in Massachusetts, specifically Woburn, MA. She could not have been born in Woburn, MA in 1624, as Woburn didn't exist at that time. People began to settle Woburn in 1640. The profile of Sarah's father lists his baptism location as Barking, Suffolk, England and his marriage there on 16 July 1623. It stands to reason that their first child was born there. Furthermore, Savage reports that Miles Nutt of Watertown brought his daughter, Sarah, from England.[4]2. Sarah's middle nameThe two references to Sarah Nutt found in the Woburn, MA Vital Records do not list a middle name. Modern cut-and-paste "genealogists" have picked up a middle name for Sarah, but it has no factual grounding. This myth may have begun at ancestry.com which lists the middle name "Ruth". But none of the 5 sources listed at ancestry.com list a middle name.See Robert W. Baird, "The Use of Middle Name"; web content, Bob's Genealogy Filing Cabinet.The use of two given names – a first name and a middle name – was essentially unknown in Europe until the late Middle Ages, and even then the practice was limited to a few distinct cultural groups. Middle names among English-speakers were essentially nonexistent until the mid-1600s, remained quite rare for another century or so, and did not become common until well after the American Revolution.See Chris Laning, "Faire Names for English Folk: Late Sixteenth Century English Names" (c2000); web content, The Academy of Saint Gabriel.An Elizabethan character would not use what we now call a "middle name," which is essentially an extra given name (as in Katherine Anne Cox or John Francis Ferrer). Double given names were slowly spreading on the Continent, but the custom had not yet reached England, and in fact did not become really common in English-speaking countries until much later, as late as the 19th century in places. We know of literally only about a dozen cases in all of Elizabethan England (before 1600), and most of them are among the nobles, or are people who were born abroad, such as Jane Sybilla Grey, who was born in France.Sources

As Sarah Wyman,[5] b. abt.1613, m. 22-09-1643 in Dedham MA, d. 24 May 1688, she is incorrectly found on unsourced family trees as the wife of Thomas Flowers (bef.1616-).
