Sarah married Joel Sheldon in Vermont and settled in the south part of Pawlet. They had twelve children together.[1]

Sarah (Edgerton) Sheldon died in Westfield on November 28, 1852.[3]
DNA
- Paternal or maternal relationship is confirmed by autosomal DNA. NOTE: We do not know from results thus far whether the shared dna comes from the mother or father, so we do not mark either parental relationship "confirmed with dna" at this time.
- Erin Cole, Larry Evans and his daughter Lori (Evans) Larsen along with a child of Adra Calkins form a triangulated group sharing an aDNA segment (27.7 cM, 3,414 SNPs). Their most recent common ancestors are Simeon Edgerton and Abiah Hough. Randi Oleson, Beverly (Guinther) Terry and Andrew Edgerton do not appear to share this segment of dna. However, there are nine other kits on GEDmatch sharing this segment but whose connection to Simeon and Abiah Edgerton is unknown.
