She wrote a catechism in Burmese, and translated the books of Daniel and Jonah into Burmese. She was the first Protestant to translate any of the scriptures into Thai when in 1819 she translated the Gospel of Matthew. Sarah, for her part, born in Alstead, New Hampshire, married the Rev. George D. Boardman, in 1825. She accompanied him to a Baptist mission in Burma, where he died in 1831. Three years later, she married the Rev. Adoniram Judson after the death of his wife Ann, and continued to proselytize with him in Burma until her health started to decline. She died on St. Helena island while on her way home to America.
