 Ann
Hasseltine Judson (1789-1826): Teacher, translator, author
and first missionary wife of Adoniram Judson, she was the first
American woman missionary to go overseas. Born in Bradford, Massachusetts,
Ann became a Christian at sixteen, studied at Bradford Academy,
and taught school for several years. Married Adoniram on February
5, 1812, and within a few days they began a four month ocean
journey with some other missionaries on the brig "Caravan" bound
for Calcutta, India. Ordered to leave India, the Judsons went
to Rangoon, Burma, arriving on July 13,1813. Ann learned the
Burmese and Siamese languages, did translation work, taught Burmese
girls, and managed her household and cared for her husband during
his 18 month imprisonment in 1824-25. When home in the United
States briefly in 1822 because of ill health, she wrote a history
of the Burmese work titled American Baptist
Mission to the Burman Empire, which was published in 1823. She
died October 24, 1826, at the age of thirty-seven. Both a son, Roger
Williams (born 1815) and a daughter, Maria (born 1825) died in infancy
(8 months and 27 months respectively).
Sarah Hall Boardman Judson (1803-1845):
Translator, author, hymnist and second missionary wife of Adoniram Judson. Born in Alstead,
New Hampshire. Her family knew the Judsons well, and when she was
thirteen she wrote a poem on the death of the first child of Ann
and Adoniram. Sarah and George Dana Boardman were married in 1825,
and went to Burma to work with the Judsons. Later they settled
at Tavoy to work with a mountain tribe (Karens), where she founded
a school for girls. Her husband died in 1831, and she continued
the work with her small son, George. Sarah married Adoniram in
1834, nearly eight years after the death of Ann Judson. During
eleven years of marriage, they had eight(?) children: Abby Ann
(born 1835), Adoniram Brown (born 1837), Elnathan (born 1838),
Henry (born 1838; died age 1 yr., 7 months), Luther (stillborn,
1841?), Henry Hall (born 1842), Charles (born 1843), Edward (born
1844). She translated hymns and other materials into the Burmese
language. She died September 1, 1845, exhausted and ill, on a ship
sailing back to the United States.

 Emily
Chubbuck Judson (1817-1854): Author and third missionary wife
of Adoniram Judson. Born in Eaton, New York. She was a professional
writer under the pen name of Fanny Forester. Judson had read some
of her writings and contacted her to write the biography of his second
wife, Sarah. After working together on the biography, their acquaintance
lead to their being married in 1846, about a year after his return
to the United States following the death of Sarah. They returned to
Burma, where Emily finished the biography of Sarah, which was published
in 1848. They had two children, a daughter Emily, born in 1847, and
a son Charles, born (and died) the same day in 1850, three weeks after
the death of Judson. She returned to the United States in 1851 and
died of tuberculois in New York in 1854.
