Sarah Bowman was born about 1815 in North Carolina. She married Benjamin Merritt about 1833, possibly in Mississippi based on the birth location of some of their children. Benjamin's first 5 children were born from this marriage. Sarah died in about 1844 in Mississippi.
Sources are needed to confirm this information. Currently looking to at least find a source that documents their marriage.
