Biography

Welsh flag
Sarah (Awbrey) Noland has Welsh ancestors.
This profile is part of the Awbrey Name Study.

Sarah was born about 1720, or later. In 1741, at the time of her father's will, she was still underage and the will stated that if her mother died, she was to go to her sister Elizabeth, who was married to Philip Nowland.[1] Sarah and Pierce Noland were married by 1748 (probably earlier - Charles was born in 1748, but it seems he was not their first child). Their last child, George, was born in 1763.[2]

Research Notes

Changes made 8 October 2023:

  • status indicator for her birth (1720) was set to certain. It is not. We only know that she was underage on 22 February 1741.[4] The status was changed to "after". Also, removed "Prince William County" from birth location, although she may have been there (the county was formed in 1730 from King George County and Stafford County[5]
  • marriage date of 1742[6] is possible, considering Sarah is known to have been unmarried at the time her father wrote his will (22 February 1741).[4] We do know that she and Pierce were married by 8 March 1748 (when they are recorded in a Fairfax County land record as Pearce Noland and Sary his wife).[7]
  • death date changed from "after 1763" (based on son George's estimated birth year) to 1754 (and marked certain), apparently based on the unsourced Find a Grave memorial for her husband.[8] Her own unsourced Find a Grave memorial says that her death date is unknown. It also says that she was born in Prince William County in 1711 [sic].[9] The death date was changed back to "after 1763", clearing the warnings that the earlier death date triggered (son Pierce born c1756 and son George born c1763).
The changes on 8 October 2023 also included the attaching of a duplicate profile (Noland-1676) for her son Pierce (who married Mary Field/s). A merge has been proposed for Noland-1676 and Noland-239.

  9. Find A Grave: Memorial #86052751 for Sarah Awbrey Noland (1711-). Note: "|sameas=no" included in the Find a Grave template used for this citation because 1711 is clearly an incorrect birth year (she was underage at the time her father wrote his will in 1741). The memorial also says that she was born in Prince William County, which was not formed until 1730 (see Virginia County Formation Maps).

Awbrey-206 and Awbrey-34 appear to represent the same person because: Hi! You've added quite a lot of duplicates for the Awbrey family that my ancestor Sarah Awbrey (Awbrey-34) belongs to, so I'm guessing that this unconnected minimalist profile for a Prince William County Sarah is meant to be for Sarah, sister of Elizabeth who you also had as dead in 1740 (apparently based on dad's 1741 will). If so, please merge. If not, please add additional information to Awbrey-206 to help us figure out who she might be (the link to Ancestry is not useful). Thanks! Liz

Awbrey-116 and Awbrey-34 appear to represent the same person because: These are a match too, so please merge. However, for Sarah, birth in 1711 can't be right, as she was underage at the time of her father's 1741 will. Cheers, Liz
