I had not seen that, thank you for pointing it out.  Fortunately the Merriam family in particular is pretty well researched, I've got what seems to be the two main sources "Ancestry of Franklin Merriam Peabody" here
archive.org/details/ancestryoffrankl00merr and "Merriam Genealogy in England and America" here archive.org/stream/merriamgenealogy00pope#page/n3/mode/2up.

Lots of original Latin wills, too bad our public school system did not include Latin ;)

Jacob's will states both Daniel and Robert PIPER are his sons-in-law. I haven't named the sisters of Sara in my tree. Will get on that ASAP!

Maybe I can help a bit, I have Sarah with 2, possibly 3 surviving sisters, Margaret baptized 31 Aug 1561 in Cranbrook, Agnes baptized 19 Apr 1568 (there was an earlier 1563 Agnes who I was guessing had died before the 1568 use of the name but I don't have a specific parish record for a death).  The 3rd is questionable, a Mary Burges baptized 26 Feb 1570/71 but the handwriting is hard to read..  The only other sibling I had was brother William baptized 24 Jan 1566/67 and buried 25 Jan same year.  Sources for the above are FHL film 1736631 Item 2 Archdeacon's transcripts, 1560-1812; Bishop's transcripts, 1611-1917.  I have images of all these if you would like me to email them to you but I'm not sure the familysearch T&Cs would allow public posting.

I've got Margaret married to Daniel Piper based on Jacob Burges' will, but I don't have a parish register for that either and I've got no spouse at all for Agnes but presumably she was the one who married Robert Piper?  Unless I've got them backwards, the will names them both but doesn't seem to say who married whom.

Just updated my prior post with a 3rd questionable daughter and offer to email images, not sure if that update would be picked up.

Oh and one other thing you might know already, his will lists wife Alice so that's another good data point.  Unsure if she was also the mother of his children.
