She m 1 Benjamin Shute in 1638 "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NPT9-MJN : 4 February 2023), Sarah in entry for Beniamin Shute, 1638. They had 2 children.
Sarah then married Thomas Sanford in 1641. https://search.ancestry.com/collections/3032/records/411665
Her parents are listed as Henry Meadows II (1575-1615) and Margaret Preston(1583-1583) but no sources are given on Family Search. Obviously there is a problem here!
I checked the Great Migration, and it refers to Thomas' wife as Sarah ________.
