Origins

”Sarah, whether Sarah Bond, Sarah Gale, or Sarah Gale Bond, was born about 1590 in Lancashire. her parentage's not readily apparent. As of this writing I have not tracked down her father or mother with any degree of certitude. The 1610 marriage is widely recorded and assumed to be more or less accurate. There are quite a few family histories claiming she was born in 1600, which would have made her age 10 at marriage. This is not impossible if the marriage was arranged but not cconsummateduntil later in life, but highly improbable. There are also some trees which claim she was born in Virginia. Many claims of a marriage in Virginia in 1628.
”The trees using the 1628 marriage date usually name her as Sarah Bond while the trees and histories giving a 1610 marriage usually name her Sarah Gale."

She would probably not have had a middle name, but was possibly married before (timing is very tight on this unless the reports of a 1628 marriage in Virginia are correct).
