Biography
Name
- Name: Sarah Ann /PRATHER/
Death
- Date: 1870s
- Place: Jefferson Co IA
Note
- Living with William and Elizabeth Donaldson in 1850 Jefferson Co IA. OP Light called her Sally Ann.
Sources
- "Iowa, County Marriages, 1838-1934," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XJ4Y-CQ4 : 3 November 2017), Benjamin Evans and Sarah A. Prather, 02 Jan 1858, Jefferson, Iowa, United States; citing reference Bk.D P.158 cn 1584, county courthouses, Iowa; FHL microfilm 969,379.
- In 1966, my grandmother obtained from her sister O. P. Light's hand-written family records, which I copied and returned. These papers have since disappeared, probably thrown away by my great-aunt's daughters when she gave up housekeeping. These papers provided dates and several generations of the Light, Prather and Veach families. There was nothing on the Dickinsons but the name and dates of Harriet Dickinson. The Lights he listed are exactly as later research has proven his family to be.
- Clark County Marriage Book, Clerk Clark County Circuit Court, Jeffersonville IN. Certified copy.
