Parents

There is no credible proof linking her to Stephen Tarleton. Since she was not mentioned in his will, she needs to be detached from these parents until credible proof can be found.

Given that Sarah Tarleton was not included in Stephen Tarleton's will, a source is needed to prove she was indeed his daughter.

*Could Sarah Tarleton be the illegitimate child of Stephen Tarleton and Mary Gunnell?
