For more on Sarah Saunders of the first generation, specifically called mother of _all_ the children of Robert Downes, see p. 114 of _Account of the Meeting of the Descendants of Colonel Thomas White of Maryland_ (Philadelphia, 1879): "His first wife,
Sarah's father, Richard Saunders of Wavendon, left a monumental inscription stating:he had 27 children. He died July 15, 1639, aged 76."

Supposing that Sarah (Saunders) Downes was one of the younger children, she may have been the daughter of one of the later wives, say Beatrice Annesley or Frances Stanton.
The parentage of Beatrice Annesley is reported in Collins' _Peerage_ of 1735 in an article on "Annesley, Earl of Anglesea:" "ROBERT [Annesley] the eldest, married Beatrix, Da. to John Cornwall of Moor-Park in the C. of Hertford, Esq; and by her had two

Depending on whether or not Moor-Park is in Hertfordshire, or possibly Herefordshire, as sometimes said, there could be a royal line through this Cornwall family.
The identity of the last wife, Frances Stanton, is shown very clearly in the Buckingham Visitation of 1634, p. 114, where Richard "Sander's" wife Frances is given as a daughter of Reginald Stanton of "Smewens," Bucks., by his wife Elizabeth, daughter
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015039595502&view=1up&seq=134&skin=2021&q1=stanton
