    Biography
    Sarah was married to Moses Simonson. Her maiden name is not known. If she was the mother of Moses' children, they married by 1635. They were clearly married by 13 December 1660, when Moses executed a deed that referred to the "consent of my wife Sarah."[1]

    She is sometimes identified as Sarah Chandler, but no basis for this identification has been found.[2]

    This is a long-time error that has been multiplied over and over online. The Mayflower Society has documented the lineage of Sarah Chandler, through her mother, Isabella Chilton, and has documented that Sarah Chandler married Solomon Leonard. Please see the Mayflower sources someone has attached.

    Moses Simmons did have a wife named Sarah, but her last name is never mentioned anywhere. It cannot be Sarah Chandler Leonard because both couples were alive and having families at the same time. they were contemporaries and neighbors at times.
