Biography

Some researchers say Robert Ramey was her second spouse, and that she probably died giving birth of soon after Edmund Price Ramey's birth. Where did the name 'Price' come from? Additionally, Hyram Ingram apparently had a long life. It's not likely Sarah divorced him to mary Robert Ramey. Perhaps it was a different Sarah Lawson, or a different person altogether. There is, apparently, a marriage record documenting the marriage of Robert Ramey and Sarah Lawson. Did people get divorced in the early 1800s? Were marriages annulled very often outside of the Roman Catholic Church?

The story does not make sense....you already have her marrying at only 13 years old, and that was her second spouse?
