Biography

Sarah was born in 1706. She was the daughter of Thomas MacGehee and Ann Bastrop. She passed away in 1770.

Sarah's father, Thomas MacGehee, owned land in several Virginia counties.

Thomas MackGehee owned land in New Kent Co, as early as 1689, when it is recorded in St. Peter's Vestry, p. 20, that he 'marked the bounds of his land'." Several years later, on 28 October 1702, Thomas petitioned for 256 acres in Pamunkey Neck on the west side of Nicatywance Swamp, in King William Co. This patent was granted for transporting six persons into the Colony. However, this land grant was not confirmed until 10 November 1713, according to English Duplicates of lost Virginia Records. Less than a year after his above petition, Thomas bought 110 acres from Wiliam Glover, recorded 20 September 1703, King William County. This land was farther up the Nicatywance Swamp, which is now called Harrison Creek. These acres had been granted to James Johnson on 1 April 1702, then sold to William Glover. Glover, in turn, sold them to Thomas MackGehee. The Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 for King William County list "Thomas MackGehee 250 acres." Thomas resided abt 1645 Northumberland in King William Co.
