Research Notes

There is a family bible page posted on ancestry.com that gives birth dates of Elizur and many descendants. It is named there "Albert and Mary Tryon Family Bible." The record for Sarah Elizabeth Tryon gives, b. Mar. 14, 1862.

She is almost certianly the Sally who married Wiley H. Crager in 1882 and was living in Justice Precinct 4, Angelina, Texas at the time of the 1900 census. Crager sons gave the name "Sallie Tryon" as their mother in their social security applications, along with father's name Wiley Crager. As Wiley Crager married a second time in 1904, it is very likely that Sarah (Sally) had died between 1900 - 1904. They had two sons: Alfred Leoner Crager (b Jun 1885 - 1965) and Artie Charles Crager (1884 - 1957).
