In 1850, at the age of thirty-four, Sarah was single and living at home with her parents in Smyth County, Virginia.
She married William D. Page, son of Tucker Page, on 29 Jul 1858 in Smyth County, Virginia. Sarah's married life may have been brief.
By 1870 she was living with her uncles Mathew, Robert and James Buchanan in Washington County. She was helping her sister Jane care for their household.
When the brothers' wrote their wills a few months later they each left $1,000 to Sarah (or "Sallie" as she was often referred to) in appreciation of her care.
