Biography

Sarah was a Friend (Quaker)

Sarah Lundy was born to Richard Lundy IV and Mary Stockton Lundy on the 7th of the 10th month of 1797 in Hardwick Monthly Meeting, Warren County, New Jersey.

Sarah died on the 2nd of the tenth month of 1871.

NOTE: Carroll County, Virginia was formed from a part of Grayson County, Virginia in 1842. Previously, Grayson County had been formed from Wythe County in 1793. In actuality, they lived in the same community their entire lives. Due to so many Friends moving west in years previous to the Civil War, the meeting they attended was laid down around 1825-1830. I have read that many Friends continued to worship in homes, but even that practice dissipated over time.

"Sarah Lundy married about

1817, Thomas Davis, son of Morris and Margaret (Ward) Davis. Eleven children :"

1. Rachel, b. about 1820.
2. Polly Ann, b. 1822.
