Probably the same Sarah Thomas gave birth to a girl on 14 September 1840. Her husband, Rev. J. Thomas served as Secretary of the Calcutta Baptist Missionary Society, on Thursday, 26 March 1833, with Rev. Mr. Duff chairing the Fourteenth Annual Meeting.
On 9 June 1842, “the wife of the Rev. J. Thomas” bore another daughter, but were are not sure if this is the same Rev. J. Thomas, and who he married afterwards, if at all. They were at Palamcottah.
The poem quoted in her epitaph is the third and final stanza of the following:
"190 C.M.
Our years in quick succession rise,
Our days glide smoothly on:
The flight of time—so swiftly it flies—
Is unperceived, till gone.
On rapid wing, concealed from view,
Death brings our blest discharge;
Cuts the fine silver cord in two,
And sets the mind at large.
..."
