Biography
Sarah was born in about 1617, based on her being baptised on 16 March 1616/7 at St Gregory by St Paul in the City of London.[1] She was the daughter of Francis Constable and Alice Unknown.
At the time of her marriage in 1646, Sarah was living at Datchet, Buckinghamshire.[2] Datchet was the birthplace of her father, so there were likely still family connections there.
A licence for Sarah to marry Anthony Savage was issued by the Bishop of London on 6 October 1646. Her age was given as 26 years, his as 25 years. Both ages appear to be wrong by about 2-3 years; possibly there was a desire to make them appear to be of a similar age. Sarah's father, Francis Constable, made the allegation. The marriage was take place at either St Mary Magdalen, Old Fish Street or St Peter, Paul's Wharf.[2] There is no entry for the marriage in the register of St Peter, Paul's Wharf. Probably they married at St Mary Magdalen; there is a gap in the marriage register that includes 1646 so if they did mary in that parish, there would be no record of it.
Within a year of her marriage, both her parents had died of the plague. Sarah appeared in Court along with her husband and several siblings to present her mother's will for probate.[3][4]
By 1648, Sarah was most likely in York County, Virginia with her husband. On 21 December 1648 a transfer of 50 acres of land in York County from Sarah's brother-in-law Richard Lee to Anthony Savage was recorded.[5]
Sarah and Anthony had one known child, likely named for Sarah's mother:
- Alice (c.1653 - 1695, married Francis Thornton)
Research Notes
- Sarah's name appears with her husband's in the list of administrators of her mother's will who appeared at court on 22 September 1647.[3] She does not appear in the list in the Stationers' Register a few months later on 17 February 1647/8, although her husband does.[4] This does not necessarily indicate that Sarah had died, as her husband would have been able to legally represent her in the transaction recorded in the Register.
