Biography

Sarah was born about 1775. She is the daughter of William Hines (d. 1807) and Susanna (Unknown) Hines (d. 1813).

Sarah's two minor children, William Felts and Susan Felts by Frederick Felts their next friend, were included in the 1808 distribution of the estate of William Hines as "representatives of Sarah Felts their mother who was also a daughter of the decedent.” ^[1] When William's widow, Susanna, died a few years later, her dower land and slaves were divided into four portions. Again, the children William and Susanna (here named as William H. Felts and Susanna R. Felts) were representatives of their “mother Sally Felts late Sally Hines.” ^[2]
