Surname Saturday -- LNU (England to New England, Wife of Francis Hamant)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.  

I am in the 8th great-grandmothers and I'm  up to Ancestor #1781, who is Sarah LNU (1629-1708) [Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 8th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts].

My ancestral line back through two generations of this LNU family line is:

1. Randall J. Seaver (1943-????)

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)

6.  Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976)
7.  Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977)

12.  Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946)
13.  Abbie Ardelle "Della" Smith (1862-1944)

26.  Devier James Lamphier Smith (1849-1894)
27.  Abigail A. "Abbey" Vaux (1844-1931)

54.  Samuel Vaux (1816-1880)
55.  Mary Ann Underhill (1815-1883)

110.  Amos Underhill (1772-1865)
111.  Mary "Polly" Metcalf (1780-1855)

222. Burgess Metcalf (1741-1816)
223.  Jerusha --?-- (1750-1817)

444.  Michael Metcalf (1706-1771)
445.  Melatiah Hamant (1704-1751)

890.  Timothy Hamant (1667-1718)
891.  Melatiah Clark (1674-1747)

1780.  Francis Hamant, born about 1625 in England; died 27 July 1692 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.  He married about 1650 in probably Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.
1781.  Sarah LNU, born about 1629 in England; died 29 September 1708 in Medfield, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of Francis Hamant and Sarah are:
*  John Hamant (1651-1708).
*  Mary Hamant (1653-1738), married 1674 Michael Wilson (1644-1731).
*  Sarah Hamant (1655-????), married 1674 John Weeks (1651-????).
*  Elizabeth Hamant (1659-1733), married 1677 Jeremiah Morse (1651-1716).
*  Hannah Hamant (1660-????).
*  Samuel Hamant (1663-????).
*  Timothy Hamant (1667-1718), married 1696 Melatiah Clark (1674-1747).
*  Abigail Hamant (1669-1741), married 1708 Jonathan Lawrence (1665-????).

Information about this Hamant family was obtained from:

*  Frederick Stam Hammond, History and Genealogies of the Hammond Families in America (Oneida, N.Y. : Ryan & Burkhart, Printers, 1902), pages 420 and following.

A review of online family trees shows:

*  FamilySearch Family Tree lists Sarah's surname as Gleason, but provides no parents or supporting information.

*  In Ancestry Member Trees, there were 135 trees for Francis Hamant born ca 1625 with a wife "sar*".  28 of those said her maiden name was Gleason.  Other names were Sarah, Sarah unknown, Sarah Hamant, Sarah Hammond, etc.  

I think Sarah is probably an LNU!
