Notes for Sarah Bankson
I have little doubt that Sarah is from the family of Anders Bengtsson, anglicized to Andrew Bankson, a Swedish seafarer and immigrant who lived from 1640-1705, and his wife Gertrude Rambo. I have not been able to identify a specific descent, since little information remains.

The line would plausibly run as shown here. However, key colonial records have not survived, so other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
