Nov. 20, 1778 ; rescued from drowning, May, 1793 ; returned to Attleborough in the fall of 1793; m., Sept. 3, 1797, Ebenezer Daggett, of Attleborough, who was b. April 16, 1763; was selectman, town-clerk, representative, and d. at Boston, March 4,'1832, while member of the Senate. Sarah married Ebenezer Daggett on 03 Sep 1797.

May 13, 1793, Amy, widow of Benjamin Maxcy, and her daughters, Lydia and Sally Maxcy, with Chloe, wife of Joseph Maxcy, crossed Seven-tree Pond, to attend the funeral of Esther Cummings, at the house of her uncle, Jessa Robbins, where she died. After the funeral, they, with Simeon Wellman of Attleborough, who was an apprentice to Joseph Maxcy, and William Montgomery, got into a boat to return. As it was leaky and overloaded, the water soon poured in faster than it could be baled out, At a short distance from Hills Point, between it and the house of Philip Robbins, the boat settled down into the water. All on board instinctively rose. Their screams were heard on both sides of the pond, and as far as Christopher Butler's. The boat did not sink, but rolled over. All except Lydia succeeded in getting hold of it. To her, Sally was extending her hand, when Wellman, exceedingly frightened, sprang upon the boat. All again lost their hold ; and the females, except Sally, were drowned. By the buoyancy of her clothes, by her repeated and persevering struggles to put her hand on the boat, which was constantly on the roll and often rolled over her, and by breathing from time to time as she got her head above water and her hand on the boat, she succeeded in saving herself, though she sank once. Finally, the two men got hold of one side, and she of the other ; and then they sustained themselves till another boat came to then relief, and Capt. Joel Adams took Sally out of the water into it. The information respecting this distressing event was obtained several years since at an accidental interview with the only surviving female. Since the above was written, her son, the Hon. John Daggett, author of the History of Attleborough, has by particular request furnished a copy of the touching and excellent letter which his mother wrote immediately afterward. It was penned when opportunities for good education were few, by a girl about fourteen years old, in deep affliction, just after being rescued from drowning, and with the corpse of a sister before her.
