No death record or grave in the Hilborough, Highland, Ohio has been found , but there is one 200 miles away although the initials do not necessarily align.[6] The problem here is that none of the other DOGGETT graves can be matched with relatives of Sarah . More interestingly, Sarah shows twice in the 1860 census. First on 19 June with her daughter Elizabeth in Marietta, Ohio[2] and then a month later on 26 July with her daughter Julia in St. Louis, Missouri.[3] In spite of the statement in the Doggett Family History that she died in Highland, Ohio,[4] she might have died in Missouri, or Virginia, or any number of places. That there is no 1870 census for her might lead one to believe she died before that time, persons have been known to survive a census unharmed and uncounted (perhaps she was merely trying to make up for being counted twice in 1860).
Initially moved to Tennessee according to papers from John Henry Watkins but from there she apparently went to Ohio.
