Biography

Sarah was directly descended from the Immigrant Richard Bailey, and married Whitefield Bailey, who was directly descended from the brother of Richard Bailey i.e. the Immigrant James Bailey. This is the first known intermarriage of these two important Bailey lines. Sarah and her husband Whitefield were fifth cousins through their Bailey ancestry.

Thus, Sarah was a Bailey at birth and her married name was also Bailey.
