On May 25, 1742 (Recorded: 29 May 1742, Berks County, Pennsylvania) Sarah Boone married John Wilcoxson (Willcockson). John was a "Worldling", not a Quaker, so this union was "Out of Unity" with the Friends of Chalfont, New Britain, Colony of Pennsylvania. It was the first offense of this kind by a member of the Boone family. Eventually Sarah and her parents would sever all fellowship with that Meeting House.
In 1750, Sarah and John, along with her parents Squire and Sarah Boone, and her siblings, left Pennsylvania and finally settled in Rowan Co, NC. Sarah gave birth to 15 children and lived with her son Samuel after the death of her husband. She eventually moved with her grandson Jesse Wilcoxson Walker to Kentucky and lived out her years near what would become Winchester in Clark Co, KY.

There is some confusion in some of the online genealogies between Sarah Boone m. John Wilcoxson, and her cousin Rachel Boone m. William Wilcoxson. The handwritten genealogy of the U.S. Boone family on file at the Univ. of Wisconsin makes it clear that Rachel was a daughter of James Boone, brother of Squire (son of George III).

In The Boone family; a genealogical history of the descendants of George and Mary Boone who came to America in 1717; containing many unpublished bits of early Kentucky history, also a biographical sketch of Daniel Boone, the pioneer, by one of his descendants, written by Ella Atterbury Spraker and published in 1922, can be found the following personal account of Sarah's life in frontier Kentucky:

Mrs. S. B, Davis of Cave City, Ky., who is a descendant of Daniel Wilcoxson, a son of John and Sarah Wilcoxson, writes as follows: —

"In tracing my Faulkner-Craig kin I ran across a reminiscence written in 1898 by a lady when she was past 80 years old, in which she states what her grandmother told her regarding this attack and other incidents about Bryant's Station. After telling what her grandmother had to say regarding the Girty attack on the fort she quotes her grandmother as saying, 'Another incident, when plowing time came Daniel Wilcoxson and })rother were in the fields, Daniel was plowing ajid his brother sitting on a log picking the flint of his
gun (one would plow and the other watch for Indians), when an Indian slipped up and tomahawked the one on the log. Daniel ran, the Indian after him. The Indian was so near that when Daniel was on top of the fence the Indian w^as at the bottom. His mother, Aunt Sarah Wilcox (I don't know why she called her Aunt, whether it was on account of relationship or her age. — Mrs. S. B. D.) was so excited she went out of the fort gate and would hollow, Run, Daniel, run, and let him in at the gate and then she followed, etc.'"

"The Filson Club's History of Bryant's Station records the fact that Daniel Wilcoxson and another man were in the field at work when the other man (not stating his name) was killed and that Daniel Wilcoxson barely escaped with his life."
