Sarah Osbon LIfespan (jan 1, 1714 – jan 1, 1796)
Description:
Osborn was born in England and immigrated to Newport with her family at the age of 12. As a teenager, she went against her parents’ wishes and attended a church identified with older Puritan teachings. In 1740, Sarah was “awakened” from a cycle of grief upon hearing a sermon by George Whitefield. Shortly after her awakening, Osborn organized in her home a “religious Female Society,” to provide support for the work of the church.Added to timeline:
