She appears in the 1850 Census on Marrs Hill, Washington Co, Arkansas with her father
John, age 51, b NC and here it states she is 15 and born in TN. The wife here is Sarah,
48, b GA. So if you are correct this is a second wife. Do you have anything on this
wife?
In 1860 her father John, 67, b NC and his wife Sarah 58 b GA appear in Mill Creek,
Franklin Co, AR. Sarah is not listed with them.
I received information that she had married a Johnson and then in 1861 she married Gabriel
Peavler in Franklin Co, AR. On her marriage license it states she is 22, and he is 28
which at first made me suspicious that this was the same Sarah. But then I found her in
1870 in Lampasas Co, Texas with Gabriel and here she says she is 36 b AR and he is 36 b TN
and he is a Blacksmith. John Clay is 9 years old b Texas. This is apparently their
adopted son.
While in Texas they are supposed to have two daughters Margaret Virginia and Sarah
Frances. She Gabe died in 1879 in Arizona, these daughters would be b 1870/1879. I have
not found Sarah in 1860 and I have not found her in 1880 either.
