Sarah may have been born in about 1648. The location of her birth is unknown. The only surviving record in Ipswich which provides an indication of her parentage gives her surname as "Warr." This has been variously interpreted as "Warren" or "Ward." She may have been the daughter of Abraham Ward.[1]
Henry Gould and Sarah Warr (Ward) were married in Ipswich, Massachusetts, on 20 September 1675.[2]
