b. 23 Mar 1739 in Newark,N.J. ( I am going by what is on her stone)
marr. 1763

father, Thomas Gilbert ( another online source says name was Josiah )
mother, Hannah Meeker
husband, Benjamin Pierson
son, Jeremiah Halsey Pierson
From ," History of Rockland Co."( New York), pg. 5 ( pub. date unknown)
Benjamin and Sarah had these nine children :
Josiah 1764- 1797, died in N.Y.C.
Jeremiah Halsey 1766-1855
Isaac 1770-1848, died in Canindaigua,N.Y.
Three daughters, Lydia, Mary, and Sarah.
Three more sons, Caleb, John and Joseph.
I believe the reason for Sarah living in Homer is that one of
her daughters, was married to a man, last name BALLARD.
