Abstract from MMF by W.G. Davis, V 1, pp 232-233:

Sarah Stackpole, b. about 1713; m. Capt. John Smith of Biddeford. In 1786 she made a deposition in the suit Brown v. Hasty which is of tremendous genealogical value and is here quoted almost in full:

"I, Sarah Smith, wife of John Smith, aged seventy-three years, testify and say that I was the daughter of Elizabeth Brown who was the reputed sister of Allison Brown, and was granddaughter of Andrew Brown who lived some time at Black Point, afterwards lived in Arundel and there died in the time of the three year war, which Andrew Brown was son to Andrew Brown sometime of Black Point who was my great grandfather who afterward lived in Boston and was there maintained by one of his sons to whom he gave a part or all of his estate in Scarborough for his maintenance in his old age, as I understood, but I am unable to say how much. My grandfather, Andrew Brown, Junior, had the small-pox in said Scarborough in the time of the Indian War, and his father and others defended him after chief of the other people moved off. After the removal from Blackpoint as aforesaid Andrew the Elder went to live in Boston as aforesaid, and my grandfather went to live in Jebacco, from thence moved to York, where my uncle Allison was born and where my grandmother, whose maiden name was Anne Allison, died. Allison Brown being a fortnight old when my grandfather Andrew's sister Libby (Elizabeth) took said Allison and kept him about six months and my mother was afterwards his nurse. Said Allison married Hannah Scamman daughter to Capt. Humphrey Scamman and lived in Arundel until he died. My grandfather had issue Elizabeth my mother who married John Stackpole my father, Mary who married Samuel Carr, Catherine who married Joshua Lasdell, Andrew who married Mary Kneeland in boston died before his father and left Mary who married a Green of Boston, Matthew who died singleman before his father, and Allison who died in Arundel aforesaid the 17th day of April about the year 1728, who left issue Andrew about three years and Elizabeth about fifteen months old who after ward married Abraham Tyler, and I further say that I always understood that my grandmother was an Allison and niece to Mr. Henry Watts from which Watts my grandfather's estate in Black Point was derived, and that my mother always told me there was a valuable interet belonging to the Brown family in Black Point and that they were in possession of part of what they claimed, and that they were kept out of part. My grandfather lived in Black Point and had as I understood several children born there. He moved away in the Indian War to Jebacco. (signed) Sarah Smith."

+ 71 iii. Andrew Stackpole was born 1715.
