Sabrina married the Reverend Jesse Mercer (founder of Mercer University, Macon, Georgia), on January 31, 1788.
They had two children, a daughter Miriam born Dec 1, 1798 in Virginia and died Sep 21, 1799 in King & Queen County, Virginia and another daughter Miriam born May 13, 1805 and died Dec 15, 1914.
Her father was Thomas Chivers.
She was the sister of Celia Chivers Butts who was married to Jacob Butts. Their daughter, Sarah Holley Butts birthed two babies that Sabrina was witness to, and was needed to testify to that fact when Sarah Holley Butts became of age to take possession of Charlot. Jacob Butts died leaving three children and his wife. Jesse Mercer was the executor of the estate and his uncle John Mercer was the guardian until the children came of age. This deed is most valuable in that it has so far been the only proof to link Sabrina and Celia as siblings. There are also references to Jesse
being an uncle to the children in guardianship records.
Sarah was born around 1805, the deed is dated 1817.
