Individual Details

Sarah Ann Blanton

(1858 - )



Death date of 7 Jun 1928 is very wrong or this couple divorced. In 1900, Andrew's wife was Effie, age 15, and they had been married for nine months.

The database on Ancestry gave Sarah Ann's mother as Rachel Harrison Gabbard, born 1835, daughter of John Wesley Gabbard and Alitha Harrison - she was not their daughter as she was born some years before they even married in 1841. I cannot place this Rachel as a Harrison OR a Gabbard.
Kentucky marriage records have her as Racheal Gabert, age 17 when married to Alexander Blanton, 22 Dec 1852, Estill Co.
There is a census record in Estill for 1850 in Hh 769, Iffa/Iva Baker Harrison. Sally is most often cited as her youngest child - but if she was indeed 60 in 1850, she could have had Rachel about age 45, or Rachel is a grandchild.
Iva Harrison, age 60 (female), b. SC
Sally, 20, b. KY
Rachel, 15, b. KY (right age, but no surname indicated other than Harrison)
Mathew, 2, b. KY
In Hh 770 is William Harrison, age 23 and Elizabeth, 17
Hh 771, is Green Lax (Lakes), age 29 - whose wife is Nancy (Harrison, dau of Elisha & Iffa Baker Harrison) age 28 and their children.
