1. on 24 May 1746, her cousin Nathaniel Stevens, son of Nathaniel Stevens (1693-1747) and Mindwell Graves (1696-1771). Nathaniel was born 6 Jun 1720/21 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died 8 Oct 1798. Nathaniel and Sarah are second cousins through William Stevens and Mary Meigs.

Sarah and Nathaniel had four children:

1. Jerusha Stevens was born 28 Apr 1747 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut. She married 25 Dec 1766 in Guilford, her cousin Didymus French, son of Thomas French (1698-1772) and Sarah Graves (1699-1784). Didymus and Jerusha are first cousins once removed, through John Graves and Elizabeth Foote.
2. Nathaniel Stevens was born about 1750 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut.

Ruth was born 26 Mar 1740 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died 23 May 1783 in Guilford. Nathaniel and Ruth are fourth cousins, both descending from John Stevens and Mary Moulson.
3. Samuel Stevens was born 19 Sep 1754 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died 24 Sep 1776 in Ticonderoga (Essex) New York. Samuel served in the Revolutionary War, and died at Fort Ticonderoga. There was no fighting in the area at that time, so we assume he died of disease.
