Research Notes
Possible 1870 Census record - daughter Sarah of the correct age and birth location, parents born in the locations identified in the 1880 census, mother's given name as identified in MG Pitts research; father's name indexed as Daniel, review of the image shows that the name could be David, see the "v" on line 31 in Reeves, and "d" on line 35 in Saddler. None of the other six records returned using search parameter "Sarah Elliott, Event: Birth, Place: Texas, United States, Event Range: 1855-1859, Father Name: David Elliott, Mother Name: Nancy" fit as well as this record. More research is need; â–ºLook for records to correlate siblings names or mother's maiden name.
