Dear Susan,
On page 96 of "The Wideners of America" the following is written:
SARAH WIDNER, born Feb. 20, 1782, in New Jersey; daughter of Leonard and Martha Thorpe (aka Thope and Tharpe); education, common school; married William Wooden at Junius, Seneca Co., NY, Sept. 11, 1800. [William Wooden was born in NJ, April 1, 1780, died at Chili, NY, March 25, 1863.]
William Wooden was an extensive farmer, brought up his large family and gave them good educational advantages.He was a man of considerable wealth and influence in the community. [See Leonard Widner.] The old Wooden homestead is situated about 4 miles west of Rochester, and is now occupied [as of 1904] by his son William W. Wooden.He buried his father-in-law, Leonard Widner among the trees, the first grave.The Cemetery is now known as Wooden or Grove Place Cemetery.Sarah Widner died at Chili, NY, July 21, 1860 and is buried at Grove Place Cemetery, Chili, NY.
The children of Sarah Widner and William Wooden are listed if needed.
I hope this helps...
Gretchen
