She was a Quaker and came to VA with her husband. Having fought off the Indian attack in which her husband was killed, being left with two small children and pregnant with a third, she married a man with the surname Dunwell with whom she had a daughter. This husband died soon after and she married again to a man surnamed Johnson. Apparently he also died prior to her death as she left a combination inventory and nuncupative will.

Sarah Winston was on the ship "George" in 1619.
Sarah saved her children from being killed by an Indian attack, hiding John under a tub and Robert in a potato hole. Nicknames followed "Tub"and "Taterhole." Sarah set fire to a mattress in the fireplace, flushing two Indians out of the chimney.

1. On April 19, 1644, Dr. Woodson was killed in sight of his house by Indians, who had called him out apparently to see the sick (Virginia Genealogist, Vol. 20, 1976, p. 3-8). After killing him, they attacked the house which was successfully defended by his wife and a shoemaker named Ligon. Ligon killed seven of the Indians with an old muzzle-loading gun eight feet long, now one of the prized possessions of the Virginia Historical Society. ; Mrs. Woodson killed two Indians who came down the chimney: one with boiling water and one with a roasting spit. ; Their boys, John and Robert, were concealed during the attack under a tub and in a potato pit, respectively.
The Indians, led by Chief Opechancano, son of Powhaten, had killed about 300 settlers on April 18, the day before. Opechancano also led the Massacres of 1622 at Martin's Hundred. Several weeks later, Opechancano was captured by the colonists and executed. The Indians were permanently driven out of that part of Virginia as a result of the uprisings of 1644.
The gun Sarah used to fight off the Indians, old time muzzle-loading, eight feet long, was preserved and now is owned by the Virginia Historical Society and on exhibit in the Virginia Museum in Richmond.
