Biography

Sarah "Sally" Pierson was born perhaps in Monroe County, Virginia, in 1805, as listed on her death record. These data differ from the 18 Apr 1804 date and Nicholas County, West Virginia location listed in her online memorial site [1], which unfortunately is unsourced, thus uncertain.

She married in 1823, William H. King (1797 - 1880) [2].

This family was recorded in 1850 in Nicholas County, Virginia, in which record eight children ranging from age 4 to 26 are evident [3].

According to 1860 and 1870 census records, Sarah (Pierson), William King and their younger children were in Clay County, West Virginia, United States [4],[5].

Sarah (Pierson) King passed away 16 Jan 1880 in Clay, West Virginia [6]. The final disposition of her remains is unknown.

Pierson-2499 and Pierson-717 appear to represent the same person because: Both represent the spouse of William Howes King, who also is duplicated.

Pierson-1490 and Pierson-717 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate profiles, excepting the birth year. Only date for the birth year is listed on the death certificate as 1805. All other information is the same (parents, siblings).

Pierson-1490 and Pierson-717 appear to be duplicates; same parents, siblings and death date. Birthdate is different, but neither profile lists a source for that. Pierson-717 is completely unsourced, with no profile manager. Please consider for merge.

Sources indicate that both Sarah and William are buried in West Virginia, so not sure where the Fact: Burial in Lyons Cemetery, Fulton Co. IL is appropriate...please review.
