Research Notes
There seems to be a discrepancy with the birth place. "Find a Grave" says Sarah was born in Reading, Middlesex on the same date. This is not logical because her parents and her husband all lived and died in Billerica. Massachusetts. The Shed Genealogy lists Sarah as a daughter of John Rogers and Mary Shed, however, other sources have William Roggers as her father. This why I listed parents as uncertain. Possible explanation is that her father's second wife was Abigail Gould who was first married to William Rogers who was from Reading, Middlesex, Massachusetts. However Sarah was born before Mary Shed died (1688) and before her father married Abigail Gould in 1689.

Rogers-69 & Rogers-10982 both came up as candidates for the profile I was creating for Sarah Rogers, born in Reading, Massachusetts to William Rogers-27458 and Abigail Gould-2222. Also Sarah Rogers-37414, the daughter of John Rogers-8047 & Mary Shed-37. It is notable that John Rogers-8047 & Mary Shed-37 seem both to have died in Billerica, Massachusetts.
Sarah Rogers-10982 is an unconnected GEDcom fragment but what is there looks to me like a match for Rogers-69.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence to support Sarah Rogers, dau of William and Abigail as the wife of Roger Toothaker-6. Even though what we have for the birth date is the same for all four profiles, Sarah Rogers is such a common name that this could be coincidence, though my guess is that Sarah Rogers-69, Sarah Rogers-10982, and Sarah Rogers-37414 may all represent the same woman.
