Sarah was born about 1758. She was buried in the Isbell Cemetery in Oconee County South Carolina. This cemetery is now under the waters of Lake Hartwell. A memorial marker has been placed on the hill behind the Welcome Center on Highway 85 in Oconee County.
Questionable place of birth as some of her siblings are shown as born in Virginia and some born in South Carolina.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Sarah:
Henderson-662 and Henderson-1576 appear to represent the same person because: Same first name, last name, maiden name, birth date, death date, death location, same parents , same spouse.
The tree shown for this line is an unlikely mix of Eastern Shore and Tidewater. Possible, but not likely as shown. If descendants believe this to be an Eastern Shore line, they should coordinate it with the work of Laura Henderson.
I have set Henderson-662 and Henderson-1576 to Rejected Match. It now seems clear that they are two different people. Sources are not the best, but they show different birth dates/places, different parents, and different spouses for the two.

This was previously set to unmerged match, I suspect because of the 30-year difference in death date. That notwithstanding, these clearly seem to be the same person. Neither profile provides a credible source. The links are to now-missing Ancestry Trees. Ancestry trees are user-submitted, riddled with conflicts, and usually without any credible supporting source citations. "U.S. & Int'l Marriage Records" is similarly untrustworthy. It is a collection of conflicting data where no one has attempted to verify what, if anything in it, is correct.
I would pick a death date, mark it as uncertain, then explain the conflicting date in the bio section.
Better sources are needed to support anything in these profiles being accurate.
Some trees give this Sarah as a daughter of Thomas and Frances Henderson, but I haven't seen what the documentation is for that. (I've set her as an unmerged match rather than a merge candidate.)
