In 1830, Sarah is residing by herself on North Haven by Henry Norton, Ebenezer Young, Benjamin & Ezekiel Kent. She was between 70 & 80 years old. No later records have been found for her.
[Sarah Kent was my 4th great-grandmother. The above biographical material is an adaptation of material originally prepared by BarbR. I have removed material that more appropriately belongs in the FAG memorials for her two husbands. I also have moved a detailed discussion of Stephen Carver's probate into a separate file, attached to this memorial. Finally, I have removed some of the detailed references to official documents in the interest of brevity. These citations belong more appropriately in the family tree documentation.
