III. Sarah Anne Smith, b. in Ridgefield, Conn., 13 Sept. 1827; married there, 6 Aug. 1851, by Rev. Clinton Clark, Congregational, to Edward Trowbrldge, a shipping-merchant, who was born in New Haven, Conn., 28 Jan. 1824, son of Capt. Rosewell and Nancy (Hayes) Trowbridge. They resided, in Aug. 1874, at Bridgetown, on the Island of Barbadoes, West Indies, where he was engaged in the shipping business, in connection with the honorable and prosperous house of H. Trowbridge's Sons, of New Haven, Conn. They visited the United States once in two years, and lived at 206 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., from 1859 to 1861; and at 20 Cheever Place, Brooklyn, from 1863 to 1866. The Connecticut Courant, of 17 May 1877, shows that he died on the Island of Barbadoes, 12 May 1877, "of hydrophobia, the third case known on the island. He took up his residence in tile West Indies in 1844, since which time he has lived on the Islands of Trinidad and Barbados--on the latter, for the past twenty years. During the troublous times of our late civil war, Mr. Trowbridge was American Consul at Barbadoes, and on repeated occasions showed by his services the interest he felt in his native country and her citizens. At the close of the war, the interests of his house obliged him to resign the consular service."
