If you know who she married or any other details I might be able to nail it down better.  Just let me know and I'm happy to look.  Good luck.

From census data it looks like her mother was Sallie/Sarah Donavan, possibly the wife on John Donovan.  You might try the free search tool at: https://familysearch.org/search  and plug in the names of the various siblings to see if you can find Sarah's maiden name?
