Sarah was born in 1750. She passed away in 1799.
"Emanuel inherited his father's love for the land and eventually farmed in Virginia, then in South Carolina and Georgia. He married Sarah Scofield, from a neighboring farm, about 1764, then started this family. Zachariah, Millie, Sally, Elijah, Amos, Elisha, Sampson, James and John Vincent were born between 1765 and 1791....Sarah preceded Emanuel in death, worn down by hard work and surrendering to malaria. Emanuel gathered her clothing, folded it carefully and placed it all in a heavy wooden chest. He thought of her often and would smile when he recalled the moment he had surprised her with the bright red cloak....Two years later, heart-broken Emanuel passed away, leaving his four younger children orphaned and alone. Zachariah was appointed eighteen-year-old Elisha's guardian; Amos took fourteen-year-old Sampson; Millie and her husband, Job Hughley, opened their home to twelve-year-old James; and ten-year-old John Vincent went to live with Elijah."
The story about Emmanuel Lay came from the book "Southern Grace - A Story of the Mississippi Saints", by Charmaine Lay Kohle
Many family trees connect Sarah Scofield to the parents Samuel Scofield and Elizabeth Ambler of Stamford, Connecticut. This is in error, as none of the Connecticut family moved to Virginia. This Sarah Scofield was from a neighboring farm, so her family was from Loudoun County, Virginia.
