Sarah was a daughter of David Herring (1784-1842) and Mary LeGette (1800-1882). On May 23, 1850 in Franklin County, Mississippi, Sarah married William Lee Hollaway (1831-?), a son of George Holloway (1801-1845) by his first wife whose name is unknown. Family lore is that this wife was an Indian.

William was last found in the 1870 census for Ashley County, Arkansas, where he is shown with Sarah and the family. He must have died after that census and before the 1880 census where Sarah is shown without him in Chicot County, Arkansas. Sarah is found again in the 1900 Parker County, Texas census with two of her sons. After this, however, no further information for her can be found.
