Hi Jayne,
You are correct regarding the Sarah (GOLD) SHOLTS mentioned in my previous message. She
was married to AJ SHOLTS as you say. Sorry for the confusion, I only mentioned her so
that you might understand my relationship in the GOLD line.
Thank you very much for the explanation of the Sarah Ann FINLEY story and how she survived
the cholera epidemic which apparently took the lives of her husband, William and a couple
of her children. You may or may not have run into the 'reported burials' on the
Franklin County web page indicating that she too died in the 1849 cholera epidemic. This
has been the source of some confusion in the matter. Unfortunately, the absolute truth
with primary or 'first hand' documentaion is frequently difficult to procure in
situations like these.
The data which I have for the GOLD's has been posted at
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jgold-dec. Unfortunately, also the
James GOLD (b.1750 and Father of Sarah GOLD does not extend back any further. If you have
additional data, comments, or questions please feel free to contact me directly at
Gold.Lowell(a)sbcglobal.net.
Lowell
