Sarah is assumed to be interred at Roxbury's Eustice Street Cemetery, formerly known as the Eliot Cemetery, which served as Roxbury's primary burying place from soon after Roxbury's beginning in 1630. In 1846 the Town of Roxbury was dissolved and absorbed by the City of Boston. If Sarah once had a gravestone it has long since decayed away.Endnotes
