These 'passenger lists" are not true passenger lists, the published ones are simply the names of those recorded in the West India Company Account Book as owing money for passage. Since Sara's name is on the account book, she owed money for passage and would have paid after arrival. What makes you think someone else paid for her? There is no organized record that I know of for payments after arrival in New Netherland In the case of De Trouw arriving 1664 with Sara, I have reconstructed other names of those who arrived, as part of my ongoing project.
