Daughter of William Verrinder and Ann Gardner

Married William Capener, 26 Oct 1828, Saint George Church, Hanover Square, England

Children - George Capener, William Henry Capener, Louisa Rebecca Capener, Charles Henry Capener, Elizabeth Ann Capener, Jane Maria Capener

Included here are excerpts from the "Life Sketch of William Capener: Pioneer of 1852" written by their granddaughter Elizabeth Margaret Taylor Beer.

Sarah Verrinder was born 2 September, 1804 at Painswick, Gloucester, England and came to London as a professional seamstress. She was employed in one of the nobility homes. she was admired for her charming personality, refinement, and professional education. Often she accompanied the lords and ladies on their visits to the continent. No wonder she spoke French fluently.

A beautiful spirited minded girl at a church festival meets her future husband, William Capener. A glance, a heart throb, a short courtship. They were married 26 October, 1828, in the church where they met. A bride of twenty-four. A bridegroom of twenty-two.

From the union of Sarah and William came five children. The first two, George and William were five and three years of age respectfully when their father was called to the United States on a business assignment. He wanted to take his family. Grandfather and grandmother objected, partly because Sarah was an expectant mother, and partly because they felt sure that William would soon return to England and make London his home. he sailed for the United States in the spring of 1834 without his family.

Sarah Verrinder was a lovely lady, a support and comfort to Father Capener in all the varied movements of their lives, a mother who trained her daughters to be artistic house keepers. Later in life she was afflicted with asthma. This hindered her from doing heavy work.

She passed away 27 May, 1863, age 59. A queenly lady, who solved life's problems with dignity. The Capener's pay tribute to Sarah Verrinder, Father Capener's true love. She consented to the union of William Capener and Ellen Rigby. "If it means a more exalted eternal here-after, Thy will be done."

This is the testimony of one who knows, a granddaughter. Signed: Elizabeth Beer
