Many researchers give Sarah's birth as 1739, yet quote her marriage to Henry Addington as 1744. Highly unlikely, as she would have been five years old. In his will, Henry Addington gave his son, William, the responsibility of caring for Sarah, but she did not stay with William. In 1806, she moved to Indiana with her son, John.
Sarah is presumed to have been buried in Friends Community Cemetery, Chester, Indiana. Her obituary in the Richmond, Indiana, Public Ledger of 25 March 1826, gives her age as 100 years old. The 1827 Directory of Richmond, Indiana, lists early settlers, including John Addington, and states. "Addington's mother came with him, died at 103 years of age."
Ruth Burson is born to George Burson & Sarah Cox in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Arnold Kuster dies at the age of 70 in Pennsylvania. The son of Paulus Kusters & Gertrudje Theissen Dohrs, Arnold was born in Germany. He was twice married, Rebecca Nuzom, then Gertrudt Conrads.
