SHE IS PROBABLY BURIED IN THE AREA THAT IS NOW JUST INSIDE THE GATE OF MOUNT HEBRON CEMETERY WHICH IS A JEWISH CEMETERY BUT SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN.
She was the daughter of Charles and Eleanor (Ellena) Willett and she died at the age of 38 years. Sarah was married to Robert Whiting. She was buried in the Willet-Willett Cemetery which was on land sold to Governor Cadwallader Colden with the provision that the Willet-Willett burial ground could be used forever by the Willet/Willett family and descendants - and that an access way into the burial ground would be available forever.
One source I found said, "After the Revolution this provision was ignored since the land had been owned by a Loyalist Governor. The land was seized and eventualy the cemetery area was ploughed over and regraded and the exact known location of the graves lost. It is said that this land is now part of the Cedar Grove Cemetery and that the Willet/Willett burial ground was near what is now the Horace Harding Expressway."
On May 5, 20ll I received information from H. Kobler that a piece of the Cedar Grove Cemetery became part of the Mount Hebron Cemetery and I am assuming it is possible that the grave of Sarah Willett Whiting is right near the entrance to the cemetery in a hedged area near the headstone of Mrs. Elizabeth Willett.
