Mrs. Sarah B. Dabney
One of the Two Known Revolutionar Widows Living in Illinois.
Pittsfield, Ill. Jan. 13 [Special.] - Mrs. Sarah B. Dabney of Barry, this county, one of the two well known widows of Revolutionary soldiers living in this State, was born near Richmond, Kentucky, December 25, 1799. In her eighteenth year she was united in marriage with John Q. Dabney, near where she was born. They remained in Kentucky until 1833, when her husband died. To them were born nine children, two of whom are living, one at Barry, Illinois, and the other at Kinderhook, this Sate. Mrs. Dabnery remained a widow, and in 1853 came to Barry, this county, to live with her son, Francis, and with whom she still makes it her home. She has been drawing a pension of $12 per month since 1853. Mrs. Dabney is a woman of small stature, wighing perhaps ninety-five pounds, but has been possessed of a wonderful constitution, for, not withstanding a life of peculiar trials and privations in an early day, and her exteme old age, she yet persists in performing her own household duties even to her washing. She has enjoyed remarkably good health all her life, and today, barring her nearly total deafness, is a fine specimen of good, ripe old age.
John Q. Dabney, the late husband of the subject of this sketch was born in Gloucester County, Virginia, about the year 1760, where he resided until he went into the Revolutionary War. His widow and son have no record of the time of his enlistment, or of the time he was in the service. They only know he was a private, and think he was in the command of General Greene, of the Department of the South. Mr. Dabney's marriage with his surviving widow was his second, and by a little figuring it will be seen that it was a union of youth and old age, she being eighteen, and he fifty-seven. It will also be noticed that he lived to the good old age of seventy-three before departing this life.
