What was the name of Sarah Good's first husband?

Sarah Good’s first husband was Daniel Poole.

Good married Poole when she was still young, after her father’s death left her with little practical inheritance. Poole was an indentured servant, and the marriage did not provide lasting financial security. When he died in 1682, he left debts behind, and creditors seized the small portion of land Sarah had inherited from her father.

Sarah later married William Good. The couple sold what remained of their property and became poor and effectively homeless, relying on assistance from Salem households. That poverty shaped the way neighbors viewed her and contributed to the suspicion directed at her during the witchcraft panic.

Daniel Poole is sometimes confused with William Good, but they were different husbands. William was Sarah’s second husband and the father associated with her later household; Poole was the first, whose debts worsened her financial position.
