Sarah Furman Warner Williams (Maker)-Possibly 1814
Sarah Furman Warner was the step-daughter of a sail-maker.
She and Azarius Williams were married in Trinity Church in New York City on December 30, 1788. He was a merchant, listed at 23 Liberty Street in the New York Directory for 1797. The baptismal records of Trinity Church would seem to indicate that both the Warner and Williams family worshipped there.
Azarius Williams may have died sometime before 1805, when a widowed Sarah Williams was listed as living at 12 Chamber Street in New York.
In 1814, the probable year of her death there were two widowed Sarah Williams in town.
