  Narrative

Note Martin and Sarah are next door neighbors in 1860 TN>Jackson>District 3

==> The 1880 Property Schedule lists both Martin and Sarah, and Sarah appears to be more wealthy:
Improved Unimproved Farm Machinery Livestock Produce(annual)
Martin 20 0 $80 $8 $65 $200
Sarah 20 15 $300 $6 $75 $200

As of 1900, Sarah was mother of 7, 5 still living - only George at 17 yrs old still living at home. Since there are no gaps in her children's names, I suspect her 7th child was born after George, prob. about 1886, and died before 1900.

1910: living next door to daughter Nancy Richardson in Davidson County, TN.
