Research Progress

Sarah Catherine SHEPPARD, before marriage

Birth Record

The birth of Sarah Catherine SHEPPARD occurred before it was required to be registered with the state of Virginia (now West Virginia). As such, there is no record of her birth in the county records. There may have been some record of her birth in church records or bible records, but these records if they still exist have yet to be found.

In her marriage record to Granville W. SIMS on 25 March 1857, Sarah K. SHEPPARD's parents were named as Henry and Diana SHEPPARD. As such she should have been listed in her parent's household in 1850. She should also have been listed as one of the free white females in her parents' household in 1840.
