Gravestone of the Day: Subiner Clark

Subiner Clark, 1759, God's Little Acre, NCBG, Newport, RI

IN MEMORY of
SUBINER Daughter
of NERO CLARK
& PHILLIS his Wife
who died July
1759 in the 19th
Year of her Age.

Subiner is a name I haven't heard before and can't find in any source. Might it be a New England corruption of Sabina along the same lines as Annar and Marther?

I don't know whether Nero, Phillis, and Subiner/Sabina were free or enslaved.
