Individual Details

Sarah MYERS

(Abt 1793 - 13 Aug 1871)

1850 census has her as 57 (1793), same as her husband. The cemetery record at Ancestry.com says she was 84 when she died in 1871, which would have made her year of birth about 1787. I am using the earlier record, as it originated earlier in time.
