Sarah married Thomas Barnard sometime before 12 Apr 1664 perhaps in Amesbury, Essex County.^{[3][4][5][7][8]} This was the date of a court record that states that Thomas and Sarah were married. They were likely married by 22 Jan 1663/64 when their first child Thomas was born.^[10]

Sarah Barnard died on 30 September 1732 in Amesbury.^[11] Lamphere,^[3] however gives her death date as 14 Sep 1736 in Amesbury aged 93.
