Sabina Maria Meyers was born February 17, 1738 in Holzhausen, Saxony, Gotha, Germany. There are some documents that refer to her as Sovenah or Sabinah Miring. She immigrated to the US with her parents about 1750. She married John Allen October 26, 1758 at the Trinity Church in New York City.

From historical documents found on the internet:

Sabina was received as a member into the Moravian Society on Dec. 26, 1761 and admitted to Holy Communion on January 21, 1776.

After the death of her first husband, Sabina Allen married Philip Sykes, a Briton from Bedford, England on November 14, 1780 in the First Moravian Church in New York.

Sovenah Miring and John Allen were married in Trinity Church Parish, New York City by Dr. Henry Barclay on October 26 1758.
