Sarah Hoadly

Sarah Hoadly

Sarah Curtis (died 1743), wife of Benjamin Hoadly, was a portrait painter.

Sarah achieved before her marriage some reputation as a portrait painter. She was a pupil of Mary Beale, and among her sitters were Whiston[disambiguation needed ], Burnet[disambiguation needed ], and her husband. Her portrait of Burnet was engraved by Faithorne. The picture of her husband, which was, ‘as is believed, touched up by Hogarth’, is in the National Portrait Gallery.[1]

Sarah married Benjamin Hoadly, her second husband, at St. James's, Picadilly, on 30 May 1701.[2] By her the bishop had five children, all sons, two still-born, and Samuel, Benjamin, and John, afterwards the editor of his works. She died in 1743.[2] The bishop's second marriage (23 July 1745) was with Mary, daughter and coheiress of Dr. John Newey, dean of Chichester.
