Sarah Hammond was christened on 12 December 1621 at the Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Lavenham, Suffolk, England. Her baptism has been confused with that of her sister Mary Hammond, also a daughter of William Hammond and Elizabeth Paine, who was baptized on 21 October 1623 ("Marie daughter of William Hammont").
As a girl, Sarah Hammond came to America with her family on the Francis, sailing from Ipswich on 21 April 1634, and arriving in Boston in June 1634.
Although her marriage began inauspiciously when her intended, Richard Smith, sued to be freed from his proposal and lost, the union appears to have prospered.
Mother of nine children.
"Balance wheel for the impetuosity of an aggressive and ... visionary husband" (The Family of Richard Smith of Smithtown, Long Island, by Richard Kinsman Smith, 1967, page 26).
On 1 July 1662, "my daughter Sarah Smith" and her son Adam Smith were mentioned in the will of William Hammond of Watertown, Massachusetts.
Mrs. Sarah Smith died after 20 January 1708, the date of the writing of her will.

The identification of Sarah wife of Richard Smith of Smithtown as Sarah Hammond daughter of William Hammond and Elizabeth Paine of Watertown was first published in "The Identity of Sarah, Wife of Richard₁ Smith of Smithtown, Long Island" by Edward H. L. Smith III in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, volume 121, pages 19 – 22 (1990).
The Great Migration Begins, volume 2, pages 850 – 854 (1995) further discusses the family of William Hammond and Elizabeth Paine, but it supplants the baptismal date for Sarah Hammond (12 December 1621) with that of her sister Mary Hammond (21 October 1623) without explanation.
Some earlier works referred to her as "Sarah Folger" without substantiation.
