was buried on 3 Jul 1856 in Hicksite Friends Burial Ground, Greenwich,
NJ. Notes for SARAH COLLINS (from Jeremy Pine) Sarah Collins Thorn, wife of Samuel, was the daughter of Job and
Mary Collins of Upper Evesham, Burlington Co., New Jersey. Her mother
died when Sarah was very young, and her father married again in the
year 1778 when his little daughter was about 4 years of age, so her
stepmother was the only mother she really knew. Job's second wife
was Elizabeth Ballinger. Sarah was about 21 during the yellow fever
epidemic in Philadelphia. Sarah gave her oldest children the names of the older generations,
her eldest daughters being called for her mother and step-mother,
while other family names of the Thorn family also appear among them.
Sarah lived to the advanced period of 81 years, three months, and
17 days. During her last years she lived usually with her son William,
such being the information given to the writer of this note, but
she died and was buried from the residence of her son-in-law Joshua
Pine, the funeral taking place on July 6, 1856. She was interred
Upper Greenwich, New Jersey, in the Hicksite Friend's |
