I hoping someone on the list can help me on the following family. I would appreciate any
information.
Sarah Phillips b. 1 Apr 1848 d/o Phillip Phillips and Elizabeth Holsapple, married John W.
Demoss 1878 Jay Co., IN. I have the family listed in the 1880, 1900 and 1910 Jay Co., IN
Census. Sarah states she is the mother of 3 children, 2 living. A daughter is listed in
1900 by the name of Edith. In 1910 Edith is listed as married and with the last name of
Lee. Can someone tell me the first name of the Lee she was married to?

divorce him and marry a man by the name of Lee? Did Lee die or did she divorce him and
again marry Jerry Florence?
