Sarah Slater initially stayed behind in England when her family left for South Africa in 1820. She later came out to South Africa in 1826, as part of Shepherd's Party.

Sarah Slater lived past 100. She ran a school in Grahamstown, from her house on the corner of Beaufort and Hill Streets, and had Mary Moffatt (the future wife of David Livingstone) as one of her pupils. She collected many letters in a chest at Carnarvon Dale farm and these were later published as the 'Carnarvon Dale Papers'.
