Marriage and Family

1st Marriage: Sarah Whipple

Sarah Whipple died three days after bearing twins in 1681. Just before she died she wrote an inspiring letter to her husband and family found here: Valedictory of Sarah Goodhue.

"Dear and loving Husband, if it should please the Lord to make a sudden change in thy family, the which I know not how soon it may be, and I am fearful of it.

I cannot but sympathize and pity thy condition seeing thou has a great family of children and some of them small..."
