Sarah Randall was born on 13 April 1799 at Aylesford, Kings Co., N.S. She was the second of ten children born to Nathan and Susanna (Gates) Randall. Her paternal grandfather David Randall was from Connecticut. He and his family came to Kings County in 1766, part of a wave of settlers to Nova Scotia known as the New England Planters.
Sarah married Henry Saunders, the son of Timothy and Martha (Neily) Saunders, on 13 November 1817 in Aylesford. Henry was an early Baptist minister in western Nova Scotia. They had the following children, all born in Aylesford: Susanah (born 1818), Nathan Randall (b. 1820), Elizabeth (b. 1821), Joseph Henry (b. 1823), Sarah Jane (b. 1825), Thomas Handley (b. 1827), Margaret (b. 1829) and Charles (b. 1831). The 1871 Census also lists Caroline, born about 1852 (aged 19) as a dependent; she was evidently adopted.
It is unclear when Sarah and Henry moved to Bear River, as census data from 1851, 1861 and 1871 all indicate Aylesford as their place of residence. They may have moved because their eldest child, Susanah, lived nearby in Morganville, Digby Co.
Sarah (Randall) Saunders died on 20 August 1880, probably in Bear River, Digby Co., N.S. Her husband Henry predeceased her only 5 days earlier.
