I have to agree with Greg; Rachel Cloclough's will makes no mention of a daughter named Sarah. The only Sarah mentioned is "my daughter Mary Thornbury's daughter Sarah Kidwell," ie; Rachel's GRANDdaughter. So it was Mary, not Sary, who married John Kidwell whose death in 1725 is recorded in the St. Paul's Parish Register of Stafford County, Virginia. This man MAY HAVE BEEN (not was, but may have been!) a brother to James Kidwell who married Anna Mary Thomas in Charles County, Maryland.
Adding to all the confusion is that John Kidwell, Sr., c1722-c1774, son of James Kidwell and Anna Mary Thomas, was married to a woman called Sarah:
Charles County Maryland Land Record Book S#3, 1770-1775; Page 276.
Jun 9, 1772 from John Kidwell Sr of CC, planter, to John Thomas Sr of CC, planter, for 70 £, a tract of land in CC called Bridgewater, bounded by a tree near the head of the Devils Nest Branch, land called Bowling Green taken up by John Thomas, containing about 70 acres. Signed-John (X) Kidwell. Wit-J Hawkins, Philip Briscoe. Sarah Kidwell, the wife of the afd John Kidwell, relinquished her right of dower. Recorded Jun 27, 1772.
But there is no evidence whatsoever that she was a Colclough, or that John Kidwell Sr. ever traveled to Virginia to fetch home his bride. He appears to have lived his life in Charles County, Maryland.

This is in error on virtually every count. Rachel's daughter Sarah is not the same person as the wife of Kidwell. The abstract of Rachel's will is in error, and it DOES NOT mention a daughter Sarah Kidwell. It mentioned a GRANDdaughter Sarah Kidwell, who was a Kidwell by birth, not marriage. This is all explained in this very thread.
Furthermore, there is no evidence to suggest Rachel was a Bolling.
