Married Capt. Elias Edmonds, son of Col. William Edmonds and Elizabeth Blackwell, on August 24, 1807, after the death of her husband's first wife.
Sarah Battaile Fitzhugh and Elias Edmonds had two daughters and lived at "Mt. Airy" in Fauquier County.
Sarah Edmonds's reason for wearing a mourning brooch in her 1808 portrait is unclear. Her husband was alive at that date, and their only two children were not born until later. She may still be grieving the death of her mother, Sarah Digges Fitzhugh, who had died in 1804/6.
