Sarah married Alexander Glenn Perdew, probably abt. 1852 near Marietta, OH.
After their marriage, Sarah and Alexander lived for a time in Ohio, then moved to Sioux City, Iowa, and then to Lee Co., Iowa. From there, they began the long trek to California by ox-team with a large group of immigrants. They traveled by way of the Santa Fe Trail and through the Cajon Pass to make their home finally in San Bernardino County.
The following paragraph is from the 2020 memoirs of Jim E. Lamb, great-grandson of Alexander and Sarah May Perdew: "My (maternal) great-grandfather, Alexander Glenn Perdew, brought his family to the San Bernardino area in 1860 or 1861, and settled in the now known area of Etiwanda. At that time, there was no Etiwanda, Fontana or Rialto. They named the area Grapeland, for all of the vineyards and fruit orchards. Alexander and brother, Greenbury, developed a then famous peach named Buckhorn peach. My grandfather, Rufus Putnam (Putt) Perdew, son of Alexander, and namesake of General Rufus Putnam, was six years old when the family migrated from Iowa to the area. The Perdews had originally left Ohio and moved to Iowa. When they decided to move to California, they left Sioux City, Iowa, by family wagons to Independence, MO., where they joined a larger wagon train. It took the group just over 9 months to get to Devore, in the Cajon Pass, CA. My great-grandmother, Sarah Mae (Hoskinson) Perdew, gave birth to daughter, Texanna Kibby Perdew, while on the trail. Something that's amazing to me is - back then, only very small children, unable to keep up, got to ride in the wagons! Everyone else had to walk alongside, as the wagons were heavily loaded with all the family belongings, and pulled along slowly by oxen. Thankful that Sara May got to ride in the wagon for a few days after giving birth!"
In the 1870 census, Alexander is listed as a farmer but it is also known that he was a penmanship teacher. He built the first schoolhouse in the Etiwanda district.
In 1892, the family was living on a small farm in Grapeland, San Bernardino Co., Ca. where he raised corn, grapes, and had some nursery stock.
On Apr. 16, 1894, Sarah's husband, Alexander Perdew died.
Alexander and Sarah Perdew had 11 children;
1. Mary Helen Perdew, b. 1853 in OH. and d. Aug. 1, 1917 in San Bernardino, San Bernardino Co., CA.
Mary marr. 1) Sam Morgan and 2) John Rice Kennedy.
2. Rufus Putnam 'Putt' Perdew, b. Aug. 14, 1854 in Sioux City, Woodbury Co., IA. and d. Sep. 7, 1939 in Upland, San Bernardino Co., CA.
3. William Perdew, b.1856 in IA. and d. 10 mths. later in IA.
4. George Franklin 'Frank' Perdew, b. Dec. 15, 1858 in Lee Co., IA. and d. Dec. 19, 1943 in San Bernardino Co., CA.
5. Texanna Kibby Perdew, b. Nov. 20, 1861 in Monterey, Monterey Co., CA. and d. Jan. 14/15, 1944 in San Diego, San Diego Co., CA. Texanna marr. 1) Charles Austin Taylor 2) Albert Livermore 3) Harry Barr 4) J. Edwards 5) Jens Peterson.

HOME BURNED
Residence of Mrs. S.M. Perdew at Grapeland Destroyed
On Sunday afternoon, the home of Mrs. S.M. Perdew at Grapeland was destroyed by fire. The house I occupied by a son of Mrs. Perdew and the families of Chas. Hackney and Alex. Henderson of this city were spending the day there. After dinner, the entire party repaired to the grape vineyard nearby and only became aware of the fire when the dense cloud of smoke drew their attention to it. Owing to the extreme scarcity of water at the place it was impossible to extinguish it. A part of the household goods were saved. The fire originated in the kitchen, evidently in some manner from the cook stove. Mrs. Perdew carried an insurance of $500.

INVOLVES MANY ACRES OF LAND
The Fontana Development company has commenced a suit to quiet title to a large acreage of land known as the Muscupiabe rancho. The complaint in the suit was filed yesterday, and the following were named as defendants: D.J. Scofield, C.H. Conde, Muscoy Water Company, H.A. Barclay, A.W. Wilson, administratrix of the estate of R.N.C. Wilson, deceased; William Pierce Johnson, Eli Burt, Charles H. Morris, Joseph D. Lynch, A. R. Loomis, W.L. McDonald, C. Hubble, Henry Pierce, Noah Keller, Thomas S. Ewing, executor of the estate of Dan K.Camp, Sarah M. Perdew, administratrix of the estate of A.G. Perdew, et. al.
The Muscupiabe rancho is situated near the head of the Cajon pass on this side of the mountains.
Some time ago, it was announced that a movement was on foot to colonize the rancho, and it is thought that it is for this reason that the Development company has brought suit to quiet the title of the land. The rancho comprises something like 10 sections of land of about 1600 acres. The greater per cent of this land has never been under cultivation, but as there is a good possibility of a large supply of water being developed on the property, it will probably some day be a valuable tract.
On Nov. 11, 1902, Sarah's son, Asbury 'Fade' Perdew was shot and killed and her daughter-in-law, Emma, died of heart failure in Aug. of 1903, so the children came to live with their 67 yr. old grandmother, Sarah Perdew.
Sarah moved to San Bernardino and cared for her six grandchildren until her death on Mar. 6, 1914.
