General Notes

Christened on 7th November 1802 in an Anglican Church in St Joseph's Parish, Barbados.  Her parents names are John and Margaret Wood.
Her marriage to Daniel Goody was her second marriage.  Sarah's first marriage was to Abraham Rodrigues Brandon, a sugar plantation owner and shipper in St. Michael, Barbados.  They had three daughters, Julia, Esther and Lavinia, and three sons...Abraham Rodrigues Brandon - who died as an infant, Joseph Rodrigues Brandon (1828 Barbados - April 22, 1916, San Francisco, California), and Alfred Rodrigues Brandon (1830 - died June 1, 1831, St. Michael, Barbados).  Her first husband, Abraham Rodrigues Brandon died only five days after their son Alfred, on June 6, 1831.
On August 11, 1831, a terrible hurricane struck the island of Barbados, destroying most of the buildings and killing about 2,000 people.  Most of the English planters
let the island shortly thereafter, some going to New York, New Orleans, the Carolinas, and most back to England where they still owned property.  Sarah bundled up her four remaining children - Julia, Esther, Lavinia, and Joseph - and took them to Stepney, London.  She still had income of her own from family property and her inheritance from Abraham Rodrigues Brandon.
