Burial Hill -- MEMORIAL STONE--See #237504358 at Saint Helena, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha
*********
Sarah Hall married George Boardman on July 4, 1825. On July 16, the couple sailed for Calcutta, where they arrived 2 December 1825. After acquiring the Burmese language, he entered upon his labors at Maulmain in May 1827, and founded a mission which became the central point of all the Baptist missions in Burma. Sarah and George Boardman had a son also named George Dana Boardman Jr, often referred to as "the Younger."
Sarah was widowed in 1831. Although a widowed missionary wife in this era would normally return to her homeland, from 1831 to 1834 she preached to the Karen in the jungles and supervised mission schools.
In 1834 she married widower Adoniram Judson as her second husband. She was his second wife. Sarah Hall Boardman spent 20 years of her life in Burma (now known as Myanmar) doing missionary work.
Her Burmese translation of "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan is still in use today. She also translated the New Testament into Peguan.
In 1844 she gave birth to Edward Judson, who later pastored a church in New York City named after his father. Her illness forced the family to return to the United States in 1844, but she died en route at Saint Helena. While in the states, Judson asked Emily Chubbuck to write Boardman's biography, and he subsequently married her.
********
I believe that Sarah Boardman Judson was buried at St. Helena.
"In 1834, Sarah married missionary Adoniram Judson and they had eight children, five of whom survived past infancy. In 1844, after giving birth to their youngest child, Sarah became ill and Adoniram decided to take her back to the United States for treatment. On September 1, 1845 she died off shore of St. Helena island in the Atlantic Ocean. Sarah is buried at St. Helena but is also memorialized on the Judson gravestone in Plymouth, Massachusetts. She is remembered as one of the most prominent missionaries in Burma."

Sarah Hall Boardman Judson, Missionary
"Four years later she married Dr. Judson, and for nearly ten years was able to render invaluable service to the missionary cause in [Burmah]. Her health failing her at last, she, with her husband and children took passage for home. When near the Isle of France, Mrs. Judson grew rapidly worse, and died at sea September 3, 1845, and was buried on the island of St. Helena."
From The National Cyclopædia of American Biography... New York: James T. White & Company, 1893.
I added a picture of the monument that was erected at St. Helena for Sarah.

First hand account of Sarah's burial at St. Helena (findagrave cemetery # 2714727) from her husband's diary.
"After Sarah's burial, which was attended by a multitude of government officials, the personnel of the ships in harbor, and natives of the island, Judson relates, 'I was obliged to hasten on board ship and immediately went to sea. On the following morning no vestige of the island was visible in the distant horizon. For a few days in the solitude of my cabin, with my poor children crying around me, I could not help abandoning myself to heartbreaking sorrow. But the promises of the gospel came to my aid, and faith stretched her view to the bright world of eternal life, and anticipated a happy meeting with those beloved beings, whose bodies are moldering at Amherst [his first wife Anne] and St. Helena'" (John Dowling, the Judson Offering; New York: Lewis Colby and Company., 1846, Page 222).
