Do not have proof that Sarah is daughter of John and Elizabeth.
Bea Leembruggen has a Sarah, dr. of John and Elizabeth b.1833 d.1835
Thomas (b.1831, husband of Harriet S. Everest) gave his father's name as Thomas Coates on the wedding certificate. He could have made this name up as Ross Vicars has found that his mother, Matilda Coats, was unmarried when he was born and he was raised by Matilda's parents.
Matilda married John Bryant a year later and had at least 3 children. The fact that Thomas (jnr) was raised by Matilda's parents suggests that John Bryant was not his father.
Notes from Ross Vicars:
The mother of Thomas Coates was Matilda Coats - born in Redford Sussex in 1810 and died after 1880. She was unmarried when she had Thomas and he was raised by his Grandparents, Richard and Obedience Coats.The spelling changed from Coats to Coates in 1820
