We have just found a family bible for my great grandmother Elizabeth "Lizzie"
Rose.
In the bible we found a little surprise. Her name is actually Sarah L. Rose.
She was born May 1864. We think the letter "L" stands for Lizzie. This
gave me another avenue to search and to ask the older relatives.
I asked the relatives about Sarah L. The family said they remembered the
name, Sarah L., and they recalled Elizabeth's name as Sarah. That Sarah was
living and being raised by a "Card" family in Soddy, Hamilton County, TN.
Elizabeth Rose (Sarah L.) was married to William Riley Pressnell in Soddy,
TN. in 1882. They had a granddaughter, Mena, who married James S. Card.
James was born around 1880ish.
Was James Card, part of the family, that raised Sarah L. (Elizabeth) Rose?
James and Mena Card had the following children all in the Soddy area: Glenn,
Unabelle, Rex, Waldo, William, James, Paul and Claude.
Would anyone know if a Card family that lived in Soddy, Hamilton County, TN.,
raised a girl who was born May 1864 named Sarah L. (Elizabeth) Rose? They
lived in the Soddy area for over 20 years.
