Thanks, Jeanette. I do have a copy of her marriage liscense but there is no
pertinent info on it. I am trying to locate any death records but so far no
luck. We think she might have died in Marion County so I am looking there.
After doing some searches on the Carter list I found several old messages
from descendants of Joel Anthony Carter and his line. I'm hoping to be able
to reach them to see if anyone has a missing Sarah.
Thanks,
Michelle

Have you tried to locate a copy of Sarah's marriage license and
her
