- DAR Marker placed on her grave 16 Mar 2003 (marker is for her husband Joseph, his Ancestor #: A065194)
- Go through the cemetery gates on Meeting Street and continue on Meeting Street into the circle near the western portion of the cemetery. Go around the circle and exit at the last road before coming back to Meeting St (Wyly Ave). Go down Wyly Ave until just before it joins Quaker Ave. Look east and locate a row of low crypts just a few yards from the drive. Sarah Mathis Kershaw's is the seventh crypt from the left. Her brother and Revolutionary soldier Samuel Mathis is buried just a few feet away

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
