Research Note

I have one note that says Sara died before 1816 but it was a speculative note from one chasing another branch - have seen more with 1827 and the first five children listed as hers Sally, wife of John Schoonover, died 1827, aged 25 years

There exists in my notes correspondence from Mary (second wife) to a relative about the family
