Noted events in her life were:
• Family History: From The Brockway Family, Francis E. Brockway, 1890, Page 35. III. SARAH BROCKWAY, b. at Saybrook, Conn. Baptized there, in the Second Church, now Centre Brook in Essex, 5 June 1757, by the Rev. Hobart Estabrook, pastor of the Church at Milliugi ton, Conn. Was not she the woman of that name who married at Millington, 25 July 1776, with ABRAHAM DOOLITTLE, of Middletown, Conn.?
Note: According to the Doolittle genealogy, Abraham Doolittle married a Sarah Brockway August 21, 1776 and Sarah Brockway Doolittle died December 7, 1779. This Sarah Brockway was most likely born in 1757 based on her father's birth year and her baptism date. She would have been some thirty years younger than Abraham Doolittle and only 22 years old when she died. Therefore, it seems likely that this Sarah Brockway was not a wife of Abraham Doolittle.
