Sarah was the daughter of Edward Hunt and Sarah Betts of Newtown (now Elmhurst, Queens), Long Island. She was married in January 1715 to the much older Silas Titus, as his second wife. The will of Edward Hunt of Newtown, dated 15 Jan 1715/6, names "my daughter Sarah Titus." Silas's will was dated 29 August 1748, and probated 18 November 1748. The will left a negro girl and widow's thirds to Sarah. Sarah, the widow of Silas Titus, wrote her own will on 2 December 1749, and it was proved 26 October 1751. Her estate went to her three children, Edward, Susanna, and Sarah, and also to a "Benjamin Moore, son of Sarah Cornish." Her "trusty friends" Jonathan Hunt and Philip Edsall were named as executors, and witnesses were her son, Edward Titus, along with Thomas Edsall and Daniel Davis.
