According to Ambrose Shotwell, Annals of Our Colonial Ancestor, pg 128;
Sarah was educated among Friends on Long Island; entered into the ministry early in life, became member of the Woodbridge MM by cert from Flushing, NY 16 7m 1742.
J. W. Dally in his history of Woodbridge (Pg 214) states that she was a speaker and pattern of humility and faithfulness, a memorial of whom written by John Webster and Abner Hampton was adopted in the MM of 6m 1760.
Sarah Shotwell departed this life, in the 8th month, 1759, in the 44th year of her age. She was educated among Friends on Long Island, and was early engaged in public testimony. In the twenty-seventh year of her age she was married to Joseph Shotwell of Rahway. She was a women much beloved, of a sweet, free and hospitable spirit, guarded in her expressions, and careful to give no just occasion of offense, a prudent loving wife, a tender exemplary parent, an affectionate friend and kind neighbor; often sympathizing with those in afflictions, especially sych as were rligious & virtuous. The rich and poor of those were equally near to her and nearer than natural kindred where Truth had not united in spirit. She gladly received strangers; and her carriage and behaviour to young ministers and burden-bearers, manifested her concern for and sympathy with them; often dropping seasonable hints in their encouragement. Although she did not travel much abroad, yet she was diligent in attending meetings at and about home, being endued with a sound and living ministry, clear and distinct in her testimony whereby many were alarmed, some convinced, strengthened, and confirmed in the faith, through a blessing on her labours. She was much engaged in silent, humble waiting on the Lord, who was please to own her, and often raise in her memorials and songs of thanksgiving. The gospel truths she was enabled to open, were so affecting to many, that some were prejudice against women's preaching. She was a true gospel minister.
Having had a sight sometime before her last illness, that her time here was nearly accomplished, she departed this life after about four days illness in a resigned frame of mind.
