    Sarah was mentioned in her father's will, dated 20 Feb 1819, at Milton, NY as being the wife of Capt. Thomas Hewitt. Thomas was named as one of the executors of Richard Hewitt's estate (Saratoga Co. Probate Records, Book 6, p. 442).
    A farmer and miller, Thomas had 95-acre farm in Broadalbin. He also owned and operated a gristmill on Hewitt's Pond on his property. He was well respected, active in community affairs, a captain in the local militia, and an elder of the 1st Presbyterian Church of West Galway. The church records listed the dates of birth for Thomas and Sarah's children when they were baptized.
    Thomas wrote his will 9 Jan 1837, and it was probated 2 Jul 1845 (Saratoga Co. Probate Records, Book 13, pp. 463-466). The will provided for his wife Sarah and for his sister-in-law, Anna (Miner) Hewitt, widow of Amos Hewitt, during their natural lives. Half of all the real estate, plus 2 cows, a hog and all the household furniture, were to be theirs. If the property bequeathed to Sarah and Anna was not sufficient to support them, son Amos was to have their 1/2 of the real estate. Amos was given the other 1/2 of all real estate and personal property after he paid $150 to each of Thomas' daughters who were not married at the time of Thomas' death -- Maria, Melissa, Eliza, Jane and Mary. Daughter Anna Starr was given a set of silver teaspoons, daughter Sarah Ann, a Bible, and the 3 grandchildren -- John, Sarah and Elizabeth Kirby -- children of deceased daughter Amy Kirby, were each to have a Bible. Each of the unmarried daughters were to have a home with their mother or their brother as long as they remained single.
