AWARDS
Sarah Duane Featherstonhaugh (1775–1828) was the youngest daughter of James Duane and Mary Livingston. She married George William Featherstonhaugh in 1808 and brought inherited land near Schenectady to their household. They settled at Duanesburg and raised four children; Thomas Cole painted the estate during a visit in 1825–1826. Sarah’s death is variously dated 1826, 1827 and 1828. An archival guide associates it with a house fire, but the timing and cause remain unresolved.
