Sarah Elizabeth Addington

Sarah's family name of BURSON has not been certified, but has been written in family histories as Sarah Burson, Sarah Buson, Elizabeth Burson, Elizabeth Buson, and Sarah Elizabeth Burson. She may be the daughter of Joseph BURSON and Rachel POTTS.

The BURSON family were Quakers. There is no evidence to indicate that the ADDINGTONs were Quakers. There is the possibility that Sarah was condemned for marrying outside the church and would not have been re-admitted unless her husband became a Quaker. Evidently, Henry ADDINGTON never joined the Quaker denomination, even though he lived in Quaker neighborhoods and some of his children became Quakers.

In his will, Henry ADDINGTON gave to his son, William, the responsibility for the care of Sarah, but she did not stay with William. In 1806, she moved to Indiana with her son, John.

Sarah is presumed to have been buried in Friends Community Cemetery,Chester, Indiana. Her obituary in the Richmond, Indiana, Public Ledger of 25 March 1826 gives her age as 100 years. The 1827 Directory of Richmond, Indiana lists early settlers, including John ADDINGTON andstates, "Addington's mother came with him, died at 103 years of age."

Burial - [place: Friends Cemetery, Chester, IN]
