Biography

Sarah (maiden name unconfirmed) married Matthew Jouett, II, circa 1758, in Louisa or Hanover county, Virginia. Matthew Jouett wrote his will 9 September 1779, and it was proved during the September session of the Caswell County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (which ran for the three-month period September-November). Sarah married, secondly, John Edmonds Brown.

• The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 326 (Article #406 "Matthew Jouett II" by Elizabeth Anthony Faller) states that after 1782 the widow Sarah Jouett married her second husband, John Brown. It is believed that person was John Edmunds Brown, who died circa 1798, in Caswell county, North Carolina. John's Will listed wife, Sarah, daughter, Nancy Harper, Elizabeth Swift, Sally Brown, sons Bedford, Jethro, Robert, John, William and Green. He then separately mentioned his four youngest, Sally , Johnny, Billy and Green (probably indicating they were by his second (or third) wife).

After her first husband's death, Sarah filed a claim for a Revolutionary War pension, based on Matthew's service. A payment voucher was issued in 1782 in the name of Sarah Jouett, with the name of her second husband, John Edmunds Brown, written on the reverse. Sarah Jouett-Brown filed in Caswell Co. Court on 22 Nov 1798 (Book C, page 363) to receive her dower rights from her deceased second husband's estate. John Brown's Will was dated 7 Jun 1798 (Book C, page 353). Sarah Jouett-Brown died soon after 1800. There were no known children born to Sarah and John Brown.

Researchers Notes

Sarah was born circa 1737, probably in Virginia. About 1762, Sarah married Matthew Jouett, II, born circa 1735, in New Kent county, Virginia. Eight children of Sarah and Matthew found at this website: https://caswellcountync.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I15591&tree=tree1

Sarah may have been the sister of Anne Bedford, who was the first wife of John Edmunds Brown.
