Sarah lived her life on the Downing farm in Uwchlan Township, Chester county, PA. She had many siblings, several dying young.

A packet of letters written to her from her two brothers in the Civil War were recently discovered in an old hutch that had been in the family for generations. After transcription, the letters were given to the Uwchlan Township Historical Society, where they were subsequently printed in book form as "Dear Sister".
