Married 20 April 1816 at Somerset, England. Lieut. Charles Heal his wife Sarah and six children arrived on the 'Minstrell'. The Heal party consisted of Charles, Sarah and six children, Charles's brother William and sister Martha and her ward Jacob Stone and his sister Mary and her husband Abraham Morgan and 2 children. In the party was also Sarah's brother Thomas Millard and two servants Joseph Green and Benjamin Joyce. They were allotted two Guildford town sites (Lot 2 & 3) and built their first house in Market Street. Within a few months Sarah lost her baby and four year old son. Further tragedy struck when Charles' sister Mary Morgan lost her husband just six month's after their arrival to the dreaded typhoid disease. A year later Lieut Charles Heal died and was buried 3 April 1832 at Guildford, several months before his fourth son Robert was born. The two widows were left to struggle for survival and to raise their families. Sarah had only a background of 'Innkeeper' in Kilmerdon, Somerset, so thirteen year old son Charles had to take over location duties on his father's Guildford grant. This was 1123 acres, a narrow strip of land stretching from the Swan River westwards for seven miles. Somehow Sarah and her son managed the mandatory 'location duties' and Sarah, being literate was strong enough to fight for her navy pension and her dead husband's land grants. She re-applied for the York grant of 1800 acres and her son Charles became a very successful farmer at 'Springdale', raising a family of 12 children. Sarah's daughters married well - Sarah to John Sydney Davis, a grazier of 'Tibradden Station'. Mercy married Arthur Shenton, editor of the Perth Gazette and Jane finally married Thomas Mellersh, a well to do banker's son. Some years before he had jilted her and so became involved in the very first 'Breach of Promise' case in the new Colony. The youngest son Robert lived most of his life in Melbourne. Of his ten children there is not one descendant! Sarah died 15 December 1882 and is buried with her husband and two baby sons. A headstone to them can now be found behind the Guildford Grammar School Chapel.
