Sarah was the daughter of Daniell Trigg and his wife, Susannah. She married Henry Baskett on July 15, 1708, in Middlesex County, Virginia. Henry and Sarah had at least three known children, Daniel, Martha and Mary.

Sarah's death is one of four that occured in a 16 day period in the Baskett family. The first being the death of her father-in-law, John, who died on November 28th. Her husband, Henry, died 7 days later, followed by Sarah, his wife, and finally Honor Baskett, wife of James, who died on December 14th. All are buried in the Christ Church Cemetery.

There is no records that prove Sarah was buried in this cemetery, but based on the events in her life within this church parish, it would seem reasonable to assume she was also buried here. The historian of the Christ Church states "We have no location data on earlier burials before 1843. The vast majority of headstones are from the later half of the 20th century. Your ancestor does not appear in our known-burial records. I have contacted the Lower Methodist Church in Hartfield, Virginia, 23071 and the Hermitage Baptist Church, in Churchview, Virginia, 23032, and they have no record of burials before about 1850 either."
