Sarah McLeod was born 1787 in Cumberland County, North Carolina to Daniel McLeod and Martha MacKinnon both immigrants from the Isle of Skye. She was their first child born in America.
She passed away in 1872. She is buried at the Presbyterian Union Church. Founded by Scottish emigrants in 1797, Union Presbyterian Church in Moore County ( a few miles east of Carthage and some miles West of Vass ) has been a mother church to several other churches in Moore and Lee Counties, as well as its namesake in Lafayette, MS. It is still in use by the Union congregation.
