The tombstone shown in Terminator 3 reads 1959–1997. This birth year would make her age 24 or 25 during The Terminator. Note, however, that she and John were living "off the grid" in her adult years, routinely using false names, birthdates, inter alia; and that her tomb was really a weapons cache. Her death was described as a result of leukemia sometime after the original "Judgment Day" (August 29, 1997). Terminator 3 also changes John's age in the second film from 10 to 13, introducing contradictions in the dating of the films that cannot be reconciled to one timeline.

The "Pilot" episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, picks up Sarah and John on the run in 1999. Her FBI file lists her age as 33 on August 24, 1999—placing her birth date between August 8, 1965 and August 23, 1966, and making her age 17 or 18 when John was conceived in The Terminator. She claims in "Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point", whether truthfully or not, to have been 19 when John was born (around nine months later).

Due to the forward time-travel jump in the TSCC "Pilot", Sarah and John are now eight years younger than their birth-dates would otherwise indicate.

In the "Gnothi Seauton" episode, Cameron Phillips mentions that Sarah would have died from cancer on December 4, 2005, had they not jumped forward in time. Cameron also mentions that John Connor sent Cameron back in time to help leap over Sarah's death. At the end of the episode Sarah is at a doctor's office, where her forged drivers license shows her alias' birthday as February 4, 1974.
