General Notes:
Sarah died without having had any children. Her husband remarried. Before her marriage, she was a milliner and dressmaker of renown at the "corner stores". She was known for her great accuracy of fit. She always dressed in silk herself and was called a true "thoroughbred". She was strongly against slavery and made her home a station in the underground railroad. She died of cancer while sitting in her favorite chair. Her will included the stipulation that her husband spare all of her money that he could to continue to support the anti-slavery movement.
