(FamilySearch: New York Passenger Lists 1820-1891, image online)

On 23 July 1850, a John DRAWWATER was listed in the 1850 US Federal Census
at Smyrna, Chenango County in New York State. He was said to be a 29 year old English born farmer and was enumerated with the English born PARSONS family.
There was no mention of Sarah Ann nor of any children. The only question relating to marital status was whether a marriage had taken place within the past year. The column was blank.
Note: Ancestry's index has DROWWATER.

From the 1855 New York State Census of Smyrna, Chenango County, New York, USA:

(Find-A-Grave)

No further trace of Sarah Ann has been found. The record seems to show that she disembarked in New York City and disappeared. A John DRAWWATER of Chenango County, New York State, married a widow named Agnes DYKES in about 1857, narrowing the date of her death to between 1848 and 1857 at the latest.
