In about 1847 she married Samuel Davidson. In 1854 Sarah and Samuel Davidson became one of the first families to establish a homestead in Perth County near Listowel where they would raise their family and live out their lives.

At least three of their sons made their way to Western Canada in the 1880's as part of the early settlement of the Northwest Territory.
