Notes


Sarah WINTERS

1.  Sarah & Frank were married by T. J. Morris...

3.  The 1870 U. S. Census,Tuscaloosa County, North Port, Alabama, lists Sarah's age as 51, which, would make her born about 1819....She no doubt was of sound mind at the time of the Census and certainly should have known her own age...with that, this writer will discard the alternate year of birth of 1824 that the 1860 Tuscaloosa, Alabama Census indicates.
