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

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).
