Sarah Updike Goddard

[2][3][4] Sarah was one of six children; her brother Daniel would go on to serve as attorney general of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

[2][6] In 1765, due to a lack of subscribers, William suspended publication of the Providence Gazette and moved away.

[2] Sarah took over management of the print shop with the help of Mary Katherine and issued broadsides and pamphlets as well as the annual West's Almanack under the imprint "S. & W. Goddard".

[2][5] That same year, she printed the first American edition of the letters of the essayist and poet Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.

[2][7] Goddard and Mary Katherine then moved to Philadelphia, where William had launched a new paper, the Pennsylvania Chronicle and Universal Advertiser.
