• Notes

  Benjamin is named in the will of his father Samuel Rust. A Defendant named Rust is named in the case Spicer v. Pope, which involved a dispute over the will of John Stone, Sarah’s grandfather. I believe this defendant is Benjamin Rust, Sarah Husband. The case states that the Defendant Rust was in possession of plates and other articles from the estate of John Stone. It is known that Ann Metcalf (the mother of Sarah Metcalf) and daughter of John Stone) and her husband Richard Metcalf took possession of the estate of John Stone after his death and did not make any attempt to probate the will. It seems likely that the personal articles of John Stone passed to Sarah and her husband Benjamin through Sarah’s mother, Ann Stone.
