  • Notes 
    • Like nearly all of Sarah Shattuck relations, she was attached to the So ciety of Friends and suffered much in consequence. She was brought befo re the court several times, either for neglecting to attend the service s at the First Church in Salem, or for being present at a "Quaker Meeti ng." In 1662, she was excommunicated from the First Church in Salem for a ttending the assemblies of the Friends. She was evidently a woman with a s trong character, and one who was not afraid to act and speak her convic tions. We see evidence of this independence even after her removal to N antucket. "For speaking very opprobriously concerning the imprisonment o f peeter foulgier,' she was arrested but pardoned on being intimidated i nto repentance." Source: "Memorials of the Descendants of William Shatt uck, the Progentor of the Families in America that have Borne His Name, " by LemuelShattuck, Pub. Boston: Printed by Dutton and Wentworth, 1855 .
