JB084 gives three possible baptism dates for a Sara Burton
10 Aug 1822, 15 Dec 1828, 4 Oct 1835

JB061g: Sara Burton emigrated to Canada with her family and settled in Blenheim Twp., Ontario. Her future husband, James Jarrel, came to Canada with the Burton family. Sara was apparently brought up in luxury in England, in Essex County or possibly Yorkshire. She served as a handmaiden in Queen Victoria's Court, and attended the coronation of Queen Victoria with her uncle, on June 28, 1838. She emigrated from this life to a humble pioneering life, sometime between 1839-1843.
Sara had a sister referred to by rest of family as "Aunt Took".

From letter written by Sarah's grandchild Mae Bennett Collins June 20, 1963 (JB061g) "Dear Grandmother,was an humble woman, brought up in a home of luxury, but she loved Grandfather, left all and came to Pioneer in Kincardine Township. She was deeply religious, and always went with her son, John, to meetings in the little old school-house on the way facing many terrors and dangers, wolves etc. but she was brave through it all. Her burden was great. She cut up all her beautiful clothes for her family sewing by the light of a fireplace, until she ruined her blessed eysight. She had an uncle in England who had something to do with the Royal family, with him she was at the coronation of Queen Victoria." Mae Collins believed that Sara was invited by Matilda Tooke, her sister, and Liza Tooke, to come to Canada.

Mae Collins believed Sarah was invited by Matilda Took and Eliza Took to come to Canada. She says that Sarah's parents came later on.
