Narrative

Sara was living in Birchington when she got married. She lived there for most of her life, her first five children were baptised there. Her youngest child was baptised in nearby St Nicholas at Wade, which is where her husband Richard was buried, as per the request in his will.

Sara would have been one of the unnamed daughters each left £5 in their father's will, when he died in November 1615. Sara's brother Simon was one of the first settlers in America.

Sara's husband died in Jan 1626/27, leaving her to raise their five young children, Anna 13, Valentine 7, John 5, Richard 2, and Sara 2 months.

Seven years later, in March 1633/34, Sara writes her own will "being sick and weak in body but sound and perfect of mind and memory". Sara leaves all her goods and chattels to her brother John Sackett of the parish of St Peter's, on the condition that he educate and bring up her children three youngest children "or dispose of them to fitting and convenient Masters to be educated and brought up". Sara also asks John to give all of her children what remains of their inheritance when they come of age, and to be the executor of the will.

Sara had at least four children still living, as she refers to her three youngest. The children's ages would have been eldest daughter Anna 20, and four other children aged from 15 to 7. John aged 12 lived to adulthood and married Ann Sackett. Richard aged 10 lived to adulthood and married Sarah Sampson. No marriages or burials have been found for Anna, Valentine or Sara.

Sara died a few months after writing her will, and she was buried in the graveyard at All Saints, Birchington, as she requested. Her husband had been buried in the graveyard at St Nicholas at Wade, as per his will.

Sara's brother John appears to have done a good job in bringing up Sara's children. Sara's youngest son Richard, went on to have his own farm house, with barns, stables, orchards, gardens, yards, outhouses, and land.
