Sarah lived many years after the death of Abraham - he had deeded land and his personal estate to her just two months before his death.

Found in the 1870 Census living with Fitz, her youngest son. Precinct #3, Ladonia P. O., p.18, Household 122. Henry's family is next door.
1880 - still with Fitz. They have a lady, India Fry, age 60, b. TN, that is living with them. She is listed as a Domestic. The are listed as a separate family in the houshold of her son Henry.
In the 1900 Census living with son Fitz Edward. Age 96, b. Feb 1804, KY. She stated she had 10 children, only 3 children living but this is an error - I believe there were 3 deceased and 7 still living.
Buried in Bourland Cemetery



Sally was the daughter of John and Jane McFall.

McFall is no doubt a Scottish name. MacFall > MacPherson (son of the Parson) as found online. John's daughter named sons William Wallace and Robert Bruce!

These records of an early John McFall in KY may or may not be his, but since there are several other names of later Logan Co residents in these records, they could very well be his:
1783-1792 Court Order Books for KY [Supreme Court of Dist of KY while still part of VA]:
p.210; Order Book D, 19 Jun 1789, p.154
John McFall v. Robert Daniel with Joseph Barnett his appearance bail in case. Jury found the plaintiff had sustained damages of 87£ 15sh and costs.
p.327; Order Book F, 21 Oct 1791, p.119
John Martin, James Robinson & John McFall, summoned to attend as jurors & failing to appear are each fined 25sh for contempt.
p.327; Order Book F, 22 Oct 1791, p.122
Motion of John McFall and considering the original Bill of Injuctions filed by Robert Daniel against McFall, and the answers of the defendant, and inspecting the exhibits, it is decreed ...judgement obtained by defendant at common law be dissolved and McFall have the benefit of said judgment.
Office Judgments; Book A (1785-88) November Court 1788:
p.510 John McFall v. William Haydon, on debt. Defendant failing to appear, plaintiff to recover against the defendant and John Collier, his appearance bail, £12 with 5% interest from 7 Mar 1786 and costs. Defendant to have credet for 1£ 2sh 6p paid.

Certainly there was a John McFall in Fayette Co KY where many of the other Logan Co families lived.

John McFall preemption 108a p.240, Book 2


Marion Co MO history states that the McFall family arrived in 1819.

An 1827 tax list in Marion Co does include John McFall

1830 Census, Marion Co MO.
On the same page as Abram K. Frye - he and Sally already had three children under age five.
John McFall. 2m age 10-15, 2m age 20-30, 1m age 50-60 [John]
1f age 10-15, 2f 15-20, 1f 40-50 [Jane]

1840 Census, Marion Co MO, Liberty Twp
John McFall. 1m age 20-30, 2m age 30-40, 1m age 60-70 [John], 2f age 20-30, 1f age 30-40, 1f age 50-60.
This is consistent with the following found in Marion Co in 1850:

There was in Marion Co Ky in 1850, Liberty Twp, p.580, Hh 451, a Liston McFall age 43 and born in Kentucky. Barbara McFall, age 48 also b. KY. Nancy McFall, age 38, b. KY. Mary Bresler age 35 & born in KY also lived with them. She had apparent children Harriet age 7, Mary R. age 6 and George L. age 4, all born in Missouri. Robert B. Bartlett, age 70, a physician born in Scotland lived with them, too. With no relationships given, nothing can be inferred, but this could be a household of siblings.

I found this marriage: Bresler, John to Mcfall, Mary Dec 23 1841

I have found none of the McFalls in 1860 except for Mary Bresler & Barbara. Mary was listed in the following blended household in Kinderhook Twp, Pike Co Illinois, Household 174:
Solomon Karr, age 47, b. IL. Mary Bresler age 46, b. KY
Harriet Bresler, age 17, Mary Bresler, age 14, George Bresler age 12, all born in MO.
W. Karr, male, age 10 and Mary Karr age 9, also born in MO
Eliza Karr age 4 and Minnesota age one month, both born in Illinois.
Barbara "McPhall" age 60, b. KY, was living with Mark & Arminta Bird in Navarro Co TX.

Found in 1880 in Corsicana TX. Mark Bird and Arminta Fry had several boarders including who I believe is surely Arminta's uncle, brother of Sarah & a son of John: Alfred W. McFall, age 62, born in KY; he is running a Livery Stable. Two railroad conductors, John C. Crank & Jos. S. Telfair, and a railroad laborer, H. B. Waddill, are also in the household. Mark stated that both his parents were born in VA.
[In 1870, A. H. McFall, age 53, born in KY was also living with Mark & Arminta's family in Navarro Co, Texas.]
