Hello Everyone,
Sarah Eliot was the daughter of Bennet and Lettice Eliot. Baptized at Widford, Hertford,
England on 13 Jan 1600 at St. John the Baptist parish. She married William Curtis on 6 Aug
1618 in Nazeing.
Sarah, her husband, their four children and her brother, the Rev. John Eliot, immigrated
to Roxbury in 1631 also aboard the Lyon.
Admitted to Roxbury Church as member # 38 and is documented as "Sarah Curtis, the
wife of William Curits" Buried in Roxbury, MA.
The Curtis Genealogies and the Eliot genealogies have documented these facts. In fact The
Eliot genealogy was published in the last few years in NEHGS Register; I don't recall
the specific issue. So please stop using Sarah Eliot as the wife of Nicholas Camp.
There is some confusion over the father of this Nicholas Camp. There were at least three
Nicholas Camps who were born and baptized within a few years of each other in Nazeing,
England. John D. Baldwin III wrote an excellent discussion on this subject for the June
1997 (Volume 30, Number 1, page 63) issue of "The Connecticut Nutmegger".

Genealogy is not fatal but it can be a grave disease.
