Sarah Walters

(1796 - Abt 1855)



The manuscript file found in the library in Paris, Henry Co TN, had this Sarah placed in the family of John & Rhoda Walters, who also lived in Grainger Co along with Obadiah's family. She's a bit too old to belong to John & Rhoda and I'm sure she was Obadiah's daughter.

Grainger Co marriages:
Hagner Bray to Sally "Waters" on 12 Aug 184. Henry Bray, Bondsman.

This couple is about the right age.
1830 Census Claiborne Co TN
Stogner Bray 1m -5, 1m 5-10, 1m 40-50. 1f 5-10, 2f 10-15m 1f 30-40
also on the same page:

and Rebecca Walters, living alone, age 20-30.

Not there in 1840 and no Brays at all found in Grainger Co.

In 1840, Whitley Co KY, I found a Stogner Bray.
1m 10-15, 1m 15-20, 1m 40-50. 1f -5, 1f 5-10, 1f 40-50.

In 1850, Stogner Bray was still in Whitley Co KY but his wife then was Polly, age 60, b. in TN. He was age 65, b. TN, as was the whole family.
