After Daniel's death in 1800 or 1801, Sarah married John Rice (1767 - 1849). Together they had three children: Thomas Roach Rice (1802 - 1855) my 3xggf, Sarah Ann Rice (1805 - 1890) and Mary Ann Rice (1809 - 1898). At least two of these children and their spouses continued the westward migration first to Ohio and then to Indiana and Illinois. John Rice's father, also John Rice (1746 - 1803), patented and settled Rice's Landing in Greene County, PA. Among other things the family operated a tavern, a ferry service and a river rafting business that transported natural resources to Pittsburgh via the Monongahela River which actually flows northward through Rice's Landing. In Pittsburgh the Monongahela joins the Allegheny forming the mighty Ohio which continues northwesterly before it curves southwesterly across the continent to the Mississippi. (Could John Rice have outfitted Daniel Moredock the raft on which he traveled down the Ohio to his death at the Big Bend?) There is also a possibility that Sarah Fitz Randolph had 3 husbands and that the first may have been a Daniel Sharpnack, but there were no children. Sarah Fitz Randolph was directly descended from some of the earliest settlers to the Plymouth Colony in New England, namely the Rev John Lothropp, Thomas Blossom, Edward Fuller (Mayflower passenger), Edward Fitz Randolph, George Bonham and Hugh Dunne.

Daniel Moredock and Daniel Sharpnack.
The records I've seen have her dying Feb 1840 to Nov 1841.
One record said "the old Cemetery on Stockton's Lane".
