Sarah (Haskell) Barrett was born June 18, 1733 in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut the daughter of Squire Haskell and Elizabeth Chandler. She Married Jonathan Barrett November 1, 1750 in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut. The location is Connecticut during 18th century. She died March 17, 1767 in Thompson, Windham County, Connecticut. We need help finding who the kids were and especially adding to her son Solomon Barrett with more sources although she must of had more kids? The only children listed is Jacob Barrett and Solomon Barrett Sr.; Any genealogy collaborative help would be very much appreciated.

Sarah Haskell is #953 in the "pink" George Soule book. There are fifth generation books for George. Unfortunately the fifth generation supplements stop at #763 so Sarah's children aren't published yet by the Mayflower Soc. Although I understand a silver book is in the works.
Oh I hope so I would love to see their work on it

Duh! I just remembered that Soule Kindred has a database and that I'm a member. I'll add the info to her profile.

Looks like there is not a Solomon and Jacob has the wrong year listed.

Thanks Ann this helps us out so much : ) probably cousins I think Solomon Barrett https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Barrett-7512  can be removed as their child based on this new info. I removed Rev. Solomon Barrett Sr as their child and his parental lineage research still needs to be determined any help with his lineage is appreciated as he does have a few sources that are a good start! Also his Find A Grave link has parents but it’s likely those aren’t his parents or if they are there is no evidence as of yet. See here https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/28447393/solomon-barrett. His father is listed as https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/32930372/john-barrett I will remove for now until more evidence shows these are his parents. It does show a second wife also for Pvt. John Barrett

Have you contacted the Mayflower Society in Plymouth?  They like to help track descendants .
by Loretta Morrison G2G6 Pilot (179k points)
No I didn’t know about that option. Especially her husbands Barrett lineage
Not saying that they have any new information that does connect or provide a solid source for connection of his parents.  But when we visited there this summer I know they avertise being able to help with genealogy questions.   If you live anywhere close, would be great to go visit with them about it.  Not sure how much help they give when visiting by phone or email.   My ancestors there were easy.  Nine time was the infamous James Cole of Cole's hill who was always in trouble with the Puritans and courts, ha. We're probably cousins if you confirm:)

LoL oh those puritans! I love history! This helps get pointed in right direction. I do see the website https://www.themayflowersociety.org/ for the Mayflower Society for a small $75 fee I believe they can look into the connection could take a little while for the info but might be well worth it.
