She was the daughter of William and Mary Wynn, Loyalists, and probably the child referred to as under 10 years old at the time of the family's evacuation from New York State to Nova Scotia (New Brunswick) in 1783. She married Edward DeField and died at or soon after the birth of their fourth child, William, who was born in or about 1812. Her husband was remarried by 1813.
Note: Her given name is remembered as Sarah in family tradition; however, this might be a confusion with her husband's second wife, Sarah Bloomfield DeField. Primary-source documentation is needed. Nonetheless, at least 3 of her 4 children are known to have named daughters Sarah. So it may be (and seems probable) that Edward DeField's two wives had the same first name.
Also, it seems very likely that she is buried with her parents in St. David's Cemetery, Niagara. However, no gravestone is known to survive for her in this location. Her burial is shown here tentatively.
