- Notes from Find a Grave:
Sarah was born c1685 in County Limerick, Munster, Ireland and died aft 1733 in Frederick Co MD.
The daughter of Tobias and Anne Vesey, she was first married to Isaac Barton Sr in 6 Dec 1705 in Ireland. They immigrated to America in 1714 and settled in Chester Co PA. They had at least seven children, five sons and one daughter.
After Isaac's death in 1721, Sarah married Robert Jones in 1722 in Chester Co PA. Sarah had one known child with her second husband, son Thomas.
Sarah stopped attending meetings after Isaac died. Women were appointed to go see her. Soon after, she married Robert Jones, sometime before 26 Mar 1722, when the Friends decided to talk with her about marrying out of the faith. The very next month, she signed a paper in effect leaving the Quakers.
Quaker Meeting Records 1681-1994:
"At our Monthly Meeting Hold att Providence ye 30 of the 2 mo: 1722"

The next month, Sarah brought a paper to the meeting which was accepted:
"Acknowledged and Disownment Robert Jones, Sarah, acknowledged for marrying out."

Robert and Sarah moved to Frederick Co MD sometime before 1733.
Note: Quakers used the Old Style, Julian calendar, thus beginning their year on March 25. Sorry for any confusion in regards to Sarah's marriages or other dates. Her memorial has now been corrected according to actual Quaker dates. If anyone needs this conversion chart, please let me know.
