Sarah Garwood was born on 7 June 1766 in Evesham Township, Burlington County, Province of New Jersey, the second child of Quakers Esther (née Haines) and John Garwood. Her father in 1768 purchased land in Culpeper County, Colony of Virginia.* The Garwood family—Sarah, her parents, and elder sister Hope—transferred from Evesham Monthly Meeting (M. M.) to Hopewell M. M. in Frederick County, Virginia.†
Sarah Garwood and Caleb Antram were married on 21 September 1786 in Culpeper County, under the care of the Crooked Run M. M. (then in Frederick County). Sarah died on 20 October 1792 at the age of 26. Her husband with their three children—Jesse, Elizabeth and Esther—transferred from Crooked Run M. M. to Hopewell M. M. in 1796, and later moved to western Pennsylvania.
There is no record of her burial. Given her membership with the Crooked Run M. M. at the time of her death, she was mostly likely buried in that meeting's cemetery. As was the custom at the time, her gravesite—if marked at all—would have been indicated by a stone without inscription or decoration.

The Crooked Run M. M. was near Nineveh, then in Frederick County, today in Warren County. Crooked Run was separated from Hopewell M. M. in 1781, becoming a monthly meeting. Due to declining membership, it lost this status in 1807 when its remaining members were joined to Hopewell. Crooked Run was "laid down"—closed—in 1810.
