Further research is needed, but found a Sarah J Howard who married Elihu Hamilton Boyd from Missouri. The grave site has her listed as Sarah Jane Howard Boyd. The birth year is correct, but have been unable to find solid evidence this is the Sarah I am looking for. In 1880 and 1900 Census she is listed as being from TN, all other have her listed from Missouri. She passed away in Kansas in 1934. if anyone has any information I would like to find out who her parents were? Unable to find death certificate online for either person, nor a marriage certificate of any kind.
