Sarah was the daughter of John Dabney Strother, Jr. and Helen Piper Strother of "Wadefield", Rappahannock [now Culpeper], Virginia. She married Thomas Barbour, son of Supreme Court Justice, Philip Pendleton Barbour, on April 12, 1832 in Culpeper County, Virginia.
Her husband was a physician and professor of medicine and they moved frequently -- to Pulaski, Tennessee; LaGrange, Alabama; and St. Louis, Missouri. In 1849, her husband died of Cholera and she moved to Audrain County, Missouri and then, after the Civil War, to Hardin County, Kentucky where she died just a few days before her 59th birthday.

Notes for Thomas Pendleton (Spouse 1)
Dr. Barbour was a son of Philip C. Barbour, who was one of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States. He was educated at the University of Virginia and the University of Pennsylvania. Soon after receiving his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1830, he moved to Columbia, Tennessee, where he became distinguished as a practitioner of medicine and as a man of science. He became a professor of Materia Medica in the Medical Department of Kemper College in 1842 and the following year became the chair of obstetrics and diseases of women and children. He was elected to the same chair in 1846 when the medical professors were transferred to the University of Missouri. He continued to occupy that position until his death.
