Judy Everett Ramos wrote the following in an article for the Fort Worth Genealogy Newspaper, "The only information about Sarah Britton’s personality is a passage from a book, “Laurus Crawfurdiana: Memoirs of the Crawford Family Memorials of that branch of the Crawford Family which comprises the descendants of John Crawford of Virginia.”

It was written in 1883 by first cousin three times removed Frank Crawford Vanderbilt, a great-granddaughter of Sarah Britton. Although the book is primarily about her father's Crawford ancestors, it has chapters on Everett and Hand families.

The passage on page 82 reads, “Mrs. Sarah Hand, the mother of Mrs. Everitt, was a woman of great strength of religious character. In her dying hours she calmly gave directions to her household, left blessings and exhortations to her children, and after selecting Psalm xxxiv.19 as the text for her funeral sermon, breathed her last, triumphantly praising God."

The reference to Mrs. Everitt is to Sarah and Obadiah’s daughter Sarah Britton Hand. She was Frank Crawford’s grandmother, who married John Fagan Everitt and who died in 1824."
