Sarah Whalen? Briggs of Belmont
Family stories of my grandfather Roland Edison Rhoades and his cousin Melvin Flagg point to Sarah Whalen being "an Indian Princess". Not totally sure of her last name. Of course we all know Indians did not have princesses and did not use royalty titles. Even "King" Philip was a white man's title given to him. Back then, before everyone WANTED to be able to say they had Indian ancestry, people were ashamed so that is likely where the "Indian princess" part of the story got added in.
Sarah was born ca Jan 1799, d 2 Apr 1879 Belmont, and married Bartlett Briggs (no mr found), b 1801 ME, d 16 Sep 1866 Belmont. His ancestry also unk. Both bur Pease West Belmont Cem.
Her son John Briggs died in Belfast in 1910 age 76 and his parents were listed as Bartlett Briggs b Northport and Sarah Whalen born Sedgwick, ME.
Her son Thaddeus Briggs died in Belmont in 1919 and listed his parents as Bartlett Briggs and Sarah Wagmand (hard to read).
Sarah's dau Hannah Jane b 1833 md Marcellus Flagg, res Belmont, and d 1888 before death certificates.
